December 8 – “Adventurous as ever”

Chris had a hair salon appointment yesterday.  Sounds so … exotic … so elegant … when you say it that way, doesn’t it?  She’s all set for Christmas, hair-wise.  Looks great, of course.  Meanwhile, I hit the books to get ready for home group on Thursday.  It will be the last Bible study of the year for that group.  We are finishing up a few of the lesser-known judges in that book, saving the really big name for next year.

 

In the afternoon we headed back up to the church.  Chris was meeting with another vendor to receive her application and money to be in the Bethlehem Street Market craft fair on Saturday.  And of course there was plenty of other last-minute work.  We still had some tables and chairs to move.  She also re-allocated some sites based on the newest sign-ups.  And she couldn’t help herself.  She swept another room.  I managed to take the mop from her this time, though.  Speaking of more vendors, we did some scrambling and managed to find a spot for all of the folks we have signed up.  Problem is … the weather report is not so good for Saturday.  Looks like it might rain.  So Plan B or C or Q or whatever letter we are on says that we should probably clear out a bunk room to have available in case we have to move our outside vendors indoors.  That task, however, was not in our wheelhouse of capability.  However … later last night we received a text from Lauren.  The bunk room was completely cleared out and Cathy was in the final stages of vacuuming.  Lauren’s comment was, “We did church CrossFit.”  I guess you did, girl.  Those bunks are heavy.  The room looks great now … and empty.  All that’s left is taping it off in booth sites. 

 

Time to celebrate.  We watched a Hallmark Christmas movie.  Woohoo for us.  Adventurous as ever.

 

Matthew 5:16 says, “In the same way, let your light shine before other, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

 

Father, thank you for people like Lauren and Cathy.  Bless them for their commitment to you and your work.  Amen.
