Another day to do!

 Doing is what life is about.  Doing for yourself is important and even better doing for others is a good goal.  Doers make the world work.  I just read this morning on Facebook words from our friend Martin.  A great doer of the organ-playing kind even while living on the west coast.  My North readers will well remember the "Thank you Martin" that we heard for many Sundays in our sanctuary.  But really Thank you Martin for years of your organ-playing gifts.  Martin is a great example of a doer a person of many gifts given often. 

What can I bring Him, poor as I am?  What are my gifts to give.  Another song in my memory bank.  

Not much on the docket today.  Did groceries yesterday, Did doctor yesterday, Did choir yesterday.  Did my crossword puzzle this morning. I had a few clinkers on that one. The suit is hung for the birds and some seeds now are on the ground for all those ground-loving eaters. So what will the day bring?

Surprise us oh, God by your power and your love.  Another song in my memory bank.  Part of a prayer prayed by Dick Hamilton at the beginning of the Golf War set to music and sung by the Cathedral Singers.  More things to remember. 

Here is another remembrance. 

Same vase...

Same vase different arrangement.  A different time of the year.  My favorite vase was made by Potter Dennis Sotilo, a potter that inspired Kimmy and Jared Russell to delve into the pottery-making business.  www.etsy.com/shop/TranquilPottery  You all might like to check it out is the suggestion from a proud mother/mother-in-law.  I would say Kimmy now is the full-time potter letting Jared be a part of the glazing crew with his on-made glazes.  His job at Dow keeps him more than busy even though he has his own wheel to throw on. 

So today is doing day.  Maybe another way to say giving day that continues by doing.     I'm grateful for the day.
