Be the Church

This Sunday was Calvary Baptist Church's "Be the Church Sunday." This is where they set up service project all over Lubbock and instead of having a normal church service you go out and serve the people. I was fortunate enough to be able to participate this year. I went to the Salvation Army here in Lubbock and helped to prepare food. We cooked meat loaf, chicken and rice casserole, jello with fruit in it, and some cupcakes and cakes. They are going to freeze these and then use them in the next week. The lady that was in charge usually has to do it all by herself so she gladly welcomed the help. It was fun getting to serve. Not only are you serving next to your family but you are spread out serving in your town (or in my case a town close to you). I thought it was a cool idea and hope that other Churches might adopt a "Be the Church Sunday."
So I am already missing Thad. It has been four days since I have seen him. It is funny how addicting babies are especially when they are as cute as little Thaddaeus. I called Sara on Saturday to wish her a happy birthday and she and Jeremy still have not caught up on rest yet and I bet it will still be a while before they are able to do so.
Praise of the week. Yesterday was Papa's birthday and I made it through. I know it has been almost two years now since he passed aways but sometimes it is still really hard and yesterday was not one of those times. I really thinking getting out and doing stuff helped to keep my mind off of it. It is hard to lose someone but the joy of knowing where they are helps to easy that pain.
I hope that you were all able to enjoy your weekend and that your Monday has been good so far. Have a wonderful week!!
