The last day of the week.

 Today is Bread and Bowl morning at church.  I look forward to seeing our community folks again.  Their visits are not long but still enjoyable.  This mission work started at least 35 years ago by church ladies has evolved from a soup and sandwich ministry to now supported by Second Helpings providing a main dish casserole.  The church adds a vegetable and some sort of pastry and bread donated by Kroger grocery store.  The portions are huge and folks usually can take two dinners home with them.  Our days to serve are Tues. Thurs. and Sat.  Other churches in the area provide food to fill out the week.  Feed the hungry is our mission.  We ask no questions.

After a second trip to Lowe's, our dining room table now supports 4 beautiful huge white poinsettias that will eventually go to church for our Christmas Eve service as well as the two Sundays after that evening.  I started with two and now it's four.  Four will cover the space well.  We'll add lots of candles symbolizing that light that came with the birth of one who brought light to the world.  So it's icecube watering time making sure that what looks wonderful now will continue that trend till the transport to church. 

I'm sure there will be football this afternoon. Basketball has been added and then in between it all there is always all the other stuff that happens in the world.  This morning, prayers of comfort for those who have been devastated by the during the night weather to the south of us.  TV pictures tell the story.  

9:00 will be here soon.  That's the time I like to be at church ready for the morning's work.
