As I sit here enjoying the view from
the window, I am also enjoying (not really!) the sight of teeny ants storming
my window shelf. Now, where did they come from??? One second, nothing, and the
next, a swarm! I have already placed a Terro trap there to entice them to their
demise and hope in no time at all they will be gone. I wonder if my dusting the
other day stirred them up or something.
Yesterday morning's sunrise
Bible study this morning was excellent, as expected. We are nearly finished with our study of Definitions, begun last fall, before our Advent study which we finished well into Epiphany! There was less digression today but still enough to add interest to the class. Next week when Linda is here we will finish this book and then start the very last in the series. This publishing house is switching to electronic studies for this Good News periodical.
Last night I had orders to let Justin know when I was leaving church so he could put the finishing touches on our dinner. He wanted to wait for me to eat because he said it had been a while since we had a "nice, sit-down dinner". Aw, so sweet! He made a brown fried rice with whole kernal corn in it, plus teriyaki chicken. It was delicious and I even had a small second helping of the rice. So good!
While he changed a light bulb in the hall (I didn't have to 'hold up the prophet's arms', as he thought at first) I emptied the dishwasher. He refilled it and wiped the counters off while I put the remainder of the food in the fridge. Quite a team! Tonight he is going to help his father again and likely have dinner out so I get the leftovers from last night's feast!
The closing for the home he is moving into takes place tomorrow and he is quite excited. Justin thinks there should be a celebration but is not sure one will happen. His primary job is to ready here the guest room for Linda, who arrives Wednesday night, but he also has work to do for Ron at his new home. Not sure how he's going to work all that out but Linda is Priority #1!!!
Worship last night was marvelous, with Pastor H. serving as our guest pastor. I was sad when the service was over, so sad that tears ran down my cheeks! For our final hymn we sang "Abide With Me", stanzas 1, 5, and 7, with the last one getting me. I like that one the best and use it often in my life: "Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me." Yes, Lord, please...
