Good Morning Blog,
All is quiet on the central Fl Front. Babes are a sleepin', coffee's a brewin', Mom is a typin'...
I want today to be quiet and pensive. I am going to go start off the day with my personal bible time and much prayer. Tonight we are hosting a restorative get together for a member of our HS group whose Mother is gravely ill. I will be giving her a massage and then we will nibble on a few things and laugh, perhaps cry...this is one special lady to be sure and she is managing a lot. I really pray the Lord shows up in a big way.
Our homeschool group is like church family. It truly is remarkable. The group is mostly Christian which is nice but also not exclusive which I also like. It affords many opportunities to set an example without words. They are the largest group of women I've ever seen get along and truly, truly, love each other. The thing I like most is that there is no pretense about them. They are genuine to the core. They don't have to put on airs or be on their best behavior. They are a forgiving bunch and believe you me, I have inadvertantly ruffled a few feathers. (who me?) This was my "church" family when I first got here and I dare say still is in many ways. I made initial contact with them and was supported and loved and "brought into the fold" so readily and easily. It sometimes feels like I live two worlds here, fabulous church and fabulous Homeschool group and never the twain' shall meet! Boo!
A wealth of information, everyone helpful, everyone with penchant for ministry, everyone wanting to do the right thing all the time. All wrapped up in the most down to earth, loving people I have ever met. These would be friends for life if we could stay.
A season for everything. I must hold onto that.
