September 30

Today Clif and I finished the next puzzle in the series I had purchased back in August.  This too was difficult, but it only took an entire week to finish.  So we are improving.  Michael and Valerie came over for a brief visit this afternoon.  They too contributed to getting the puzzled done.  Stephen had come earlier in the week, and he was able to complete the antlers.  This helped tremendously.



I am grateful to have had steady work since the first day of school.  Life is getting better now that I am able to reconnect with my normal routine.  This past week I was especially joyful because I was able to attend the King of Kings Charismatic Prayer Group Thursday evening.  Their Praise songs were perfect.  The guest speaker's topic was relevent.  It was just the perfect "pick me up" for the middle of the week.  The week ended on a positive note as well.  I was able to help out on the Emmaus Retreat this weekend.  15 ladies were able to share quiet time and tranquility deepening their relationship with Christ.  I was able to work in the kitchen, and share fellowship with wonderful ladies.  After a 13 hour day, I left with such a feeling of satisfaction.  Aaahh.  What a precious week.
