11.17.12

This morning a wonderful family had to say goodbye to their dog.  The news broke my heart, this evening during prayers, when we got to all of our animals, I included this dog and said he had gone to Heaven and Mackenzie started to feel bad and I said although the family is sad, they know that their dog  is with God now in Heaven.  She had that half understanding half asleep look.

I was so scared of making brownies for the Church to serve tomorrow for families, volunteers, and those in the National Guard.... especially after I tried to make two in the oven at once and I burned one whole side of the first batch... I am pleasantly proud of myself... have it down to a science when to prep the next batch, when to cut the ones cooling and when to clean what..as I go... I pray that everyone else who took food is having just as much luck as I am... The last one is about to go in the oven and I am really excited about that.. I am finally feeling like I could close my eyes and sleep... and it's before midnight?!!

May all those who have found time to chop up the food and prepare and to serve tomorrow remember that the greatest thing we can do, is to do this for ourselves without wanting anything in return.  Please take a minute to ask someone (even those who spend their days helping), if there is anything you can do for them.... 

Amen
