Well, after such a full travel day on
Christmas, yesterday was much calmer. We
went over to WalMart … of course. The
primary purpose – no, the original purpose – of the trip was to return the Island
shirt I got for a different size. That
went off without much fanfare. I had to
get a different pattern, but I like the new one, too. I think Chris is getting me outfitted for our
cruise to the Panama Canal. That’s
coming up in less than a month. Guess as
soon as all the Christmas shenanigans are complete, then we can really start
thinking about that one.
We also did a little Christmas shopping
while we were out. Now I don’t mean just
scarfing up on Christmassy stuff bargains, although we did a little of
that. Nope. We still had some specific gifts to buy, so
we went in armed with our list and came out with a basketful of gifts. Chris struck up a conversation with our
checker. She found out the lady’s son
was in the hospital with some serious issues and is facing a possible major
surgery. We assured her we would be
praying for him. Join us when you think
about it … his name is Marcus.
So a basketful of gifts meant I got to
spend the rest of the afternoon watching Chris wrap everything. Not a bad thing, actually. She wraps much better than I do, for one
thing. And besides, that meant I got to
do “put it under the tree” duty. Nothing
quite like watching the fun pile up … literally. At the end of the afternoon we realized that
we still have a few errant gifts to pick up.
Guess that means a trip to Target sometime today. Maybe something will be on sale there, too…
Colossians 1:16 says, “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all
things have been created through him and for him.”
Father, please be with Micah as he continues
to wade through his bout with the flu.
And touch the life of young Marcus there in the hospital as well. Amen.
