My how time flies - I can't imagine where the time went. Well, actually I do know, but I shudder to think about it.
We have had two of the most lovely weather days. God has really blessed us this weekend. We have enjoyed sunshine, high 60's and low 70's and a cool breeze. We are enjoying the fresh air blowing in through the open windows as well as swinging on our patio. Most everyone in our community is out enjoying the weather also.
Spring is the precursor to Easter and I am crocheting up a storm. I am making many, many Easter baskets. My mom is taking 14 to her Sunday School pals and I am sending several to the nursing home where my mother-in-law resides to the nurses and techs and a few of the residents that we have adopted.
In addition to the Easter Baskets, I am crocheting red scarves for my daughter's Heart Walk fund raising. She is a fundraiser in her department at the Chattanooga Heart Institute. So needless to say, I have yarn everywhere and I love it! Always something to do.
It was Sunday dinner at the nursing home today. Each Sunday we take dinner and eat with Mike's mom. Word has spread that "non-institutional" food is in the facility and we end up feeding several residents as well as sharing with nurses and techs. It is a blessing to see them really enjoy their meal and they so look forward to our visit. Since we resigned our posts at our home church, this has become our new ministry and it is really a blessing. It is so funny and joyful to walk in with the food and see them gathered around my mother-in-law's room waiting for the food to arrive.
These precious people don't care if it is a gourmet meal or not - they just enjoy home cooking and that is what we try to provide. So many don't have visitors. How sad.
I just wanted to take this moment to Thank God for our blessings.
