Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

I had to help serve communion at the first service, so we all went to the first service. So, Hanna had to spend that service and sunday school in the nursery, and by all accounts she did very well. She cried when Rhonda came to get her, but the workers said she was happy and played. Joyce, who used to be in our bible study, said she took care of Hanna during the first service, and that she was happy and playful. Joyce said we must read a lot of books to her, because Hanna wanted Joyce to read her books.

For lunch, we made Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes. While we were making it, John found an empty pecan clusters tin, and was banging on it like a drum and marching around. He saw me and said "I want to sing rain rain rain came down down down" (which is a Pooh song) so we sang that and marched around while we sang. When John was done, of course Hanna had seen that, so she picked up the drum and starting hitting it and marching around. Never mind that she had never done that before. She'd seen John do that, so that was enough for her to decide hey, I have to do that too!

About time to get them down for their nap. We never did get that snow that was threatened for yesterday. It's still a bit cloudy today, but I doubt it will snow today. I had on a football game in the kitchen while making lunch, a game in Miami, and it was 80 degrees there. It's just not fair.
