Serving the Lord Tuesday

We slept late again because Rosalie needed more sleep. Elizabeth needed some too. She and I finished up the well after breakfast although it will likely need more touching up. Evelyn was told she could not get the permanent she wanted from the Haywood beauty college, so she went with us to the Open Door. I had agreed to wait for Jo to bring us the key to the church and did so even though she was late. We had a big crowd of people wanting a free lunch and a big crowd of volunteers. We were told we could leave after the serving. Normally we stay to clean up. The girls worked hard serving desserts while we served meals. We ate there as we usually do. We went to Pizza Hut to see if we could get them to donate some peppermint candies to throw out during the Independence Day parade. The manager said we could have some if they came in on the truck Saturday morning. We came home and touched up the well before watching some of the “Pirates of the Carribean”. We left for church and the potluck/Bible study at 4:45. To our surprise, the door was open and the coffee had been made by the Pastor. We had little to do. We had taken the hummingbird cake that Evelyn and Rosalie had baked as my birthday cake for our contribution to the potluck. Everyone raved about it. I had wanted to save it until today because we had eaten a great deal yesterday. The group sang Happy Birthday to me under my personal direction. I have always wondered why people just sit and look embarrassed when sung to, so I decided to join in and direct. We ate and then studied more about Jesus’ I AM declarations in the Gospel of John. We came home, finished the Pirates and played a few rounds of Phase 10. We tried to call the Beelis at their request but got no answer. The girls think they might have gone to bed. We got the girls to bed earlier tonight, but really don’t know exactly what they want to do tomorrow. Evelyn has to prepare for her Bible study in the morning. She was also able to get an appointment for a permanent Thursday afternoon.
