Susan is Pastor Tim's wife.
Monday morning was grey and drizzly which made grocery shopping wet and chilly. Way back in January a kind hearted young man who really likes my daughter gave me a Starbucks gift card for my birthday. I was thrilled. You may remember that Tim and I are being aggressive with our debt and coffee at Starbucks is always an ultra treat being expensive and uncommon for me – so I was pretty excited to have this gift card to use anytime.
I don’t know how it is with you, but gift cards are like a double gift for me. There’s the fun of getting something that I wouldn’t have without the card; but there’s also the fun of knowing I could get something even when I don’t which for me translates into a gift in itself (you’re right, I may need counseling).
Many of you now know the reason behind the quietness of my blog recently – my mind had been completely hijacked by the message I delivered on Sunday October 24. I’m so thankful God didn’t call me to be a preacher!
Apart from the times I’m teaching piano, which I really enjoy and probably provides a distraction, these have been melancholic days for me this week. I’m not certain of the root cause but I can identify 3 or 4 possible contributors.
Tim and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary this week! I never knew a couple could be so crazy in love with each other after so many years. I think this may be close to what God had in mind when He instituted marriage – 2 people better, stronger, healthier together than they could ever be on their own. I’m loving it!
