Activities are great, but it’s the ones we do them with that really make them wonderful.
This week I’m thankful…
…for Sewing with Ruth
Ruth has been out of town traveling for what seems like forever, but she was free Easter evening so she and I got together for some sewing in my newly cleaned/organized craft room.
…for Dancing with the girls
My sister-in-laws’ brother got married this past weekend and Daniel and I went up to Lincoln for the wedding (as much to see the Little Misses as to celebrate with Johnny, but nobody’s telling, right?) They had a dance and I had a great time dancing like old times with all my Lincoln girls. How many times have Anna and Grace and Joanna and Casandra and I danced together at weddings? I couldn’t say, but it’s got to be at least a half a dozen.
…for Skyping with my family
While we were in Lincoln, we decided to do a whole-family Skype session with Okinawa. Little Master Menter is almost one – and Mommy has an oh-so-adorable baby bump. It took a bit of prodding to get her to show us, but she gave us an exclusive at last (too shy to post on Facebook). Daddy is never shy, and was glad to pull up his shirt and show us HIS belly.
…for Cooking with friends
Rachel was out of town with school, so her husband was cooking for our Tuesday night meal at their house. Cooking for a crowd (ten, in this case) is always a bit of a stress, and everything takes longer than you expect – I was glad to be able to roll up my sleeves and pitch in in the kitchen.
…for Singing with the Living Word
I love going through the Psalms and reading verses that I know as songs – and I’ve long wanted to create a Scripture song database of sorts to catalog those wonderful Scripture songs. While the database idea ended up being too involved (I worked on it a few afternoons, but seem to have lost my knack with Microsoft Access – it was so much easier when I was a teen), I have been going ahead and creating a list of Scripture songs (eventually, I plan to compile them on bekahcubed, along with embedded youtube videos so we can hear the songs in action). It’s been wonderful singing my way through the Psalms, worshipping the Faithful God who is worthy of all praises.
