Immediately when we got to church this morning, Mackenzie said she wanted to usher and since only one person was signed up... we did it... OH BOY.... USHERING & Antibiotic child... not a good combination..lol Right before Peace, Mackenzie said "I'm not doing Peace... Pastor Mary is not here!!!! and she had that sad face on... I would have to agree with her...Church this morning was weird without Pastor Mary... Pastor Arnie does a good job.. but knowing PM was sick across the street.. I feel like many of us just wanted to go bring her soup and get well wishes. During coffee hour I told Pastor Arnie.. if he needed help during 10:30.. I would help... and I did.. I was a communion assistant again... (there were 58 people, and I knew many of them)....Giving people the blood of Christ, reading a couple prayers... be it, with a VERY red face, (I some how forgot some very basic words)... UGHH.. not a great feeling... I was shaking by the end. but I still did the dismissal-someone said "too bad Pastor Mary wasn't here to see you do all that..." I thought.. Yeah.. I am happy she missed it!!! Don't get me wrong, I am proud of myself for not chickening out... but ugh... how could I mess up so many simple words.. seriously..lol
Jordan and I spent the afternoon working on more of his missed work, Mackenzie took a nice 2 hour nap and when she woke up on her own.. she said can you send Pastor Mary a get well video... yes... I did.. and I will attach it here..and then I did the laundry, folded it and put outfits for the next three days together for each of us and put the rest away... YIPPPEEEE ... made dinner, cleaned up packed up my lunch for school tomorrow, and got them to bed (only 20 mins late) and really nobody has come out .. Yes, I know I should not have said that.. but really this is good..lol
The point to all of this... I am GRATEFUL for my life... yes, even the moments when I am asking why my son feels I will do his work for him.. I am so grateful... I am so blessed to have these children and I know each day I have to remind myself of this and thank you God for giving me the chance to be their mom and not only for myself but to also help them to live life in a way that will Glorify Your name. For all of us whom are sick.. May the healing embrace touch us all and help us to become whole again. May we end this Super Spiritual Sunday in a manner that will please You! May we all awaken in the morning light and Make it a Marvelous Monday. -Amen
