November 28 - “Welcome, Christmas”

It was another great Sunday at church. Lots of people were there to worship.  Of course Josh and his family came.  They were a little late because of me, I’m afraid.  We knew we were going to stay for a while after church (more about that later).  Chris had forgotten her eye drops, though.  She has to take them four times a day now in anticipation of cataract surgery.  I texted Josh to see if they could bring the bottle when they came.  Unfortunately they had already left.  He texted to let me know that and ask if they needed to return to the house and get them.  I didn’t get the text until much later, though, so they turned around and went back just in case.  Sorry about that, guys.

 

Now on to the “after church” comment.  We stayed to help with the decoration of the church after service. Pizza was ordered from Way West, the local restaurant. Christmas boxes came out from the closets.  People scurried all around to get the lights and garland up around the ceiling.  We had to leave early though. Chris had one of her spells that left her feeling bad. We were sorry to bail on the work, but once she gets to that point, she just needs to lie down for a while.  After we got home, Corey and Janell and Brennan came over for a few minutes.  They had just returned from their big Thanksgiving trip, so we got to hear all about it.  They also wanted to know what the deal was about the shooting on our street.  Neighbors gotta keep each other informed, you know?

 

We took it east the rest of the day. Chris managed to get in her nap.  We even watched a few Christmas movies before calling it a wrap on another Thanksgiving weekend.  And I guess with that we have officially welcomed another Christmas.

 

Isaiah 40:3 says, A voice of one calling: In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.’”

 

Father, please be with us as we check in with one of Chris’ doctors this morning.  Some more answers would be nice.  Or at least some more steps in the right direction.  Amen.
