June 17: I had an especially grace filled day and thought I would
share it with you all. The day began with me not having an especially good
night's rest. That concerned me since I am working on my own and would have to
lead all day. It is hot and humid, which can also make one feel droopy. Fortunately,
the book of Philippians generated enough discussion and thoughtful
consideration that the day did not give me a chance to get sleepy. The truths
from the text, mostly on Christian attitudes towards suffering between believers,
struck a chord with the ladies and they opened up about some of their
struggles. They even asked for my opinion on the expectations on them as
pastor's wives. It was a good discussion and I felt we were good friends
sharing something we have in common. I was thankful the Lord allowed me to
foster some healthy, principle-driven discussions that felt honest and safe.
Now I hope I can get a bit of a nap before heading over to a
pastor's house for dinner tonight. Oh yes, teaching knitting is going better
than I thought and I think the ladies are enjoying it, though it is a
challenge.
Rejoicing today!
Edie
