Weekend Blessings

This has been a weekend full of blessings and the weekend is not yet over.

Friday
Friday afternoon I got together with Rebecca, another teacher, to go for a walk before the homecoming football game.  There was an ultimate frisbee game going on so we joined that for 15 minutess until they finished and then walked a couple of miles.
After walking we showered and shared a meal.
Together with other friends we attended our homecoming football game.  There I visited with other friends and enjoyed the fellowship as well as the game.
Late Friday evening - actually early Saturday morning - my college roommate Rachel arrived for a weekend visit.

Saturday
Saturday morning a group of ladies gather for a birthday brunch for our dear friend Susan.  I had suggested and sort of planned the idea, but everyone else came together and did far more than expected.  It was truly a blessing for Susan, as well as for the rest of us.

Saturday afternoon Rachel and I enjoyed relaxing activities including visiting, doing a fall puzzle, walking at Magnolia Ridge in beautiful weather, picking up a few things at the grocery store, cooking tacos, baking speculaas and pumpkin cranberry bread, and then watching Hogan's Heroes projected on the wall downstairs with friends.

Sunday
Sunday morning we attended worship practice at church and then the church service.
After church Rachel was able to join me for First Sunday Luncheon - our monthly church potluck.  It was a blessing to have her here and to share some of my life with her.
Shortly after the potluck Rachel had to leave to drive back to Waco - I am so glad that she was willing to come for a couple of days.

After Rachel left I went to a baby shower for a friend from church.  More time of fellowship with believers.
Later in the afternoon I visited with Hannah, my landlords oldest daughter, who is visiting.
I also read a part of a book for our small group Bible Study.
I just chatted with a friend online, read some thought-provoking blogs, and ate dinner.
Tomorrow we have a day off from school for Fall Break, which is on Columbus Day.  I am  glad to have another day to get work done that got pushed aside while enjoying some of the special events of the weekend.

It has been a full weekend, but one full of blessings.  This weekend has been a reminder of how greatly God has blessed me, and how undeserving I am of such great blessings.  Thank you God for your infinite love and blessings beyond measure!
