Day 351

Today I’m thankful for sitting in the sanctuary of our new church building. On the days I’ve not served, I’ve been absent. Even though my pastor was not there, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m also thankful for speaking to two (of my four)  my sisters today. We are all so spread apart, and though I know we won’t spend Christmas together, I look forward to time next year when we will honor Mom’s memory as a family.
