r and everyone is busy i step in and provide it but mostly i have stayed off to the side an observer faces are familiar to me now some people cycle in and some cycle out and then some return and others don t the baby wrapped in a thin blanket is a boy now who detaches himself from his mom and plays with the other children other babies have been born and grown into toddlers people come for months and then they disappear sometimes i see them return months later without a partner with more care written upon their face than when they were last seen sometimes i see them return as a volunteer with a shy smile and a light in their eyes because their lives changed for the better and they want to give a little something back this weekend as john was playing i watched people come in i recognized faces i saw that some who had once come only to receive were now busily pitching in to help set things up even though they were still in need of the handouts children ran in and out people chatted with serve team members and with each other a child came in on roller skates and skated around the empty spaces in the room another child ran in crying mama mama people laughed and talked and ate and offered help one to another a volunteer walked over to one man and asked how are you did you get a hotel room as you d hoped how s and they talked and talked i found myself smiling they come together to share a meal share their story hear a story receive help and give it what i saw was the same thing i see every sunday at church i saw fellowship i saw a spiritual community my attitude was hugely different in leaving on saturday i look forward to next month i wonder who i ll see i m eager to ask a report of how someone is doing after i was requested to pray and how vastly different my own life is now lives have changed we all have changed sunday morning we got up and got ready for church it was so dark and oppressive outdoors i told john in the car that i desperately longed to turn on the lights inside the car to try and dispel the gray dark skies we were about two miles from church when the storm hit the car was rocked from side to side by the fierce wind debris hit us as it was flung from trees the rain slanted horizontally in front of us hitting the car from the sides when we arrived at church cars were queued at the curb waiting to let people out everyone in the lobby was standing staring out at the weather and arrivals umbrellas and towels were rushed to the entrances umbrellas blew inside out and towels were sopping within seconds i was soaked the rain had penetrated my raincoat my ball cap my purse my shoes and jeans t shirt and sweater that i d thought i might require at service i shivered as i stood in the lobby waiting on john to park the car and the weather to calm enough to allow him to walk to the door we went to katie s after church i took corn on the cob and gramma s fried chicken i had a hot wheel s car for caleb and hairbands for bella who exulted that i d brought her new crowns lol henry was sitting up and shaking with excitement at the idea that he was about to be picked up i brought him a soft little rabbit that he ignored we had a lovely pleasant time with the children gary not the mama cody and katie and we stayed longer than we might ought to have we all talked and laughed and ate the food was good the cup of hot coffee most welcome the hugs and kisses and full laps even more welcome caleb ran to pick up something cody dropped and said i got that dad i watched as he climbed on a chair with gary and snuggled in i ll sit with you grampa gary and i smiled at one another across the top of caleb s head bella told her daddy about the new crowns but when he failed to appreciate the moment as bella felt he should she ran to katie mama look can i wear one crowns aren t they pretty i think this one would look best with your outfit and bella took the one katie suggested and was adorned john and i smiled over henry as he wiggled from one of us to the other here was proof that lives had changed indeed we arrived home about 4pm just as the skies opened and pounded us with rain all over again sam had been working on installing a new mailbox and post for us and had raced home to escape the rain we managed to get in the house without getting as wet as we did earlier in the day i shivered coming into the house i dressed more warmly than i might have otherwise once we got home the full impact of weariness hit us i don t think we even spoke for hours we just sat here together companionable in our silent tiredness i slept until nearly 10am this morning i had just gotten my coffee ready to drink when sam came by with a surprise he d brought millie with him she proudly told us that next year she was going to kindergarten she was so proud of that and so were bella and caleb yesterday who both told us all about getting to move to kindergarten next year i was sitting here listening to sam and semi supervising millie polishing her nails and started thinking of all that i must get done this week then sam said oh can you keep millie and isaac for a bit tomorrow i said i would but i was busy the rest of the week and i am i need to catch up from last week i have all of this week s tasks to catch up on i want to go visit mama i want to sneak away and get a bit of time alone on my own to shop at the garden center and grocery i want to take one day to take the kids to the library and maybe a meal out after i need to do so many more things so many necessary things i ve worked on a few things as i could today the house blessing is done bread was made plants got watered spaces were tidied and neatened laundry was washed and hung to dry drawers were organized and put right once more i

half gallons of kroger milk at 1 39 each a gallon runs 2 78 gallon checked the price while i was shopping but half gallons tend to run a bit more as anyone who prefers the half gallon jugs knows generally we can finish off a half gallon before it starts to go off though with me making a dalgona coffee most afternoons i use 8 ounces of milk i am using it more quickly however i had a decent sized list of other needs i looked over my clipped and best customer coupons to determine what items i should go ahead and pick up today i m just going to run down my receipt and tell you what each

house and slopes forward that is the proper way to build a porch especially one that began as a deck off the back of the house i didn t take a better head on photo because frankly i was trying to hide
