December 5. A pretty day, but chilly. We thank the Lord for His help in checking the first two chapters of I Thessalonians this morning. Then we listened off and on to the funeral service for President George H W Bush which was broadcast live on the web. The service was about two hours long, and our listening was interrupted by 1) Daddy, going back to the apartment to find his passport so he could give info to LS; 2) a visit from Mrs. S and her daughter to see Connie about a messy bun hat; 3) working in the kitchen preparing sweet potatoes and getting them on to cook for dinner; and 4) getting our dinner ready to eat. It was late when we lay down for nap; and as soon as possible after I got up, I started cleaning up the kitchen and washing the dishes. It took about an hour to get everything done. Daddy took time to help Christy by bringing her clothes in off the line so Christy could get her hair washed. I started packing things up so we could head home early and get ready to go out to Bread of Life this evening. Before we left, Connie started raking leaves out back because the ground is slippery on the hillside under the clothesline. By the time we got home, I was hungry and found something to eat. Then I made the weekly shopping list so we can be ready to do the shopping tomorrow. About 6:30, we left for Bread of Life to be with the people there for the evening. It was a blessing to talk with folks there and be in their meeting. The pastor had Daddy give a brief report and update on what the Lord has been doing. Pastor’s text was Psalm 46:10 and he preached on “the LORD of hosts” as our protector and provider. “And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.” Matthew 14:14 Jesus was always moved with compassion toward the multitudes. Surely He thought of each individual in the multitude and how each one needed a Savior. Surely He longed for each one to understand his need and trust in Him. December 6. In the 20’s this morning, brrrrr! But the heavens were blue and the sun was shining. We went out early today—had three stops to make—Lidl, WalMart, and Aldi. Had quite a bit to do at WalMart, but not too much in the other two stores. Much of the rest of the day was spent working on organizing the MTP course that Daddy had written on making sermon outlines, making sure it was set up with blanks to fill in and assignments to do. I also cooked a pot full of veggies, made cranapple sauce, did the dishes, cooked amaranth, renewed the kefir, liquified the cranapple sauce in the blender and put it away, and put the amaranth away. Afterward we listened to another Sunday school lesson by Pastor Weiss on overcoming insecurity, and I worked on crocheting. “Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.” Matthew 15:32 Again we see Jesus, a Man full of compassion, who cared about man’s every need.
