What a busy weekend! I spent a good part of it in service or preparation for service. I probably still have a few more things to do but I MUST be in bed by 11:00 or earlier tonight.
Friday late afternoon I helped out with the annual Roast Beef Dinner in the Deaf Community. I usually am one of the food servers. As always, it was a delightful event. Right after I was done, I scooted home and finished packing for the youth retreat at a local retreat centre. Most of the young people had been to World Youth Day and I was to be cooking for them. Tonight I have prepared for a fundraiser for tomorrow. I am feeling energized at the moment but know I still need to get to bed and get a solid 8 hours of sleep.
The photo is the view from the back of the retreat house which is in the shape of a boat. I do feel like I got out of the boat this weekend, paradoxically, as I had never cooked for that many people before. I had fun! I would do it again for sure. I suppose I could have gotten caught in the fears and sank at any moment but that did not happen.
Anyway, I did want to say that one thing I say this weekend were young people with amazing faith and talents. I was impressed on several occasions as they shared and participated in prayer times. Perhaps our world is in better shape than I thought. On that bright note, I will sign off and head to my bed.
Peace,
Suzanne
