Pancakes and Praise and Changes

 



Wishing everyone a fabulous first day of Fall.

Admittedly, even with a slightly overcast sky this morning, out here on the deck things are still feeling more summery than anything else. But I'm not complaining. I'll take as much of summer as I can get.

Even so, it's a good introduction to worship this Sunday morning. Creator God overseas the seasons. A reminder of His unending faithfulness, order and sovereignty.

My own worship starting this morning with a somewhat foggy kayak ride (which is another story right there). Continues with these quiet moments on the deck right now. And will keep on going when Ken and I connect to the online service at Highview Community Church that starts at 10:30.

We've also started a little weekly treat of a bigger Sunday brunch that we get all set up for before the service begins, so we'll be ready to heat up the grills and get things on right away.

It's not at all the same as the after-service conversation and connection we'd be enjoying if we were there, but it helps with the dead space of missing that, once the service is over.

Also, yesterday Ken and I did a fairly comprehensive sorting of all non-perishables, which is even more of a thing when you're still working through pantry items from the 'big move.' Turns out we have approximately 127 meals worth of pancake mix!

Funny, but during this whole uncertain season of stepping out in faith, there have been so many of these kinds of reminders -- of how much we actually do have, over in abundance. It brings good balance to this part of the journey.

And a great way to celebrate the first day of Fall!!

Blessings and joy and meaningful connections of spirit and soul are wished for you this day!!!
