doughnuts

We like to take the bus because it is quicker than walking to church from the parking lot. I told my husband that I thought it was funny that the kids were looking forward to their doughnut before they hopped on the bus. He said, "Of course, that's why I take the bus."

As we were getting off the bus this past Sunday, someone said to their son, "Oh there's our pastor, Pastor Rick." That means we made it to church on time. That is the first time in a long time for us. Pastor Rick saw all of the people getting off the bus and said, "There's the doughnut brigade!" He was referring to the sweet, tasty doughnuts in our hands and crumbs on our mouths.

Pastor Rick was so full of excitement, life, and love when we saw him. He shook hands with everyone. One woman said, "Give me that Pastor Rick bear hug!!!" He said afterwards, "Isn't this a terrific day!?"

It really was. It warmed my heart. Very inspirational. It was refreshing to see that our pastor was having a great day.

We took our youngest child of seven months into the crawlers nursery for the first time. I had always liked to hold him during the service so I could snuggle and cuddle with him. But this time, I thought I'd get more out of the message and be able to sit without distraction. So, I took our two year old to class while my husband took the older kids and our seven month old.

Now I know why. Was it coincidence? I don't think so. I took notes on habits for managing money. I guess I needed some help with that.
