Here are some things that I’m thankful for this week:
Electric Fans
There have been a couple of times this week when I’ve gotten home from a run or the walk from the train station and I’ve turned on the fan and just stood in front of it to let it cool me down. The humidity in this city really makes it hard to cool down. So I’m thankful for electricity and fans.
Bible study
This week the women’s Bible study in our community started. Over the past two years I’ve loved this group. It’s been a great way to get to know the other wives who live here and to love and support each other. There’s a different dynamic to a Bible study group when it’s all women and it has been wonderful to hear from different people’s experiences and wrestle with the Bible together.
Harmonies and forgiveness
I didn’t know that I was rostered on to play the piano at women’s chapel this morning. I should have known, the roster was emailed to me last week. I just hadn’t integrated it with my diary. So when I was almost at my train stop for college I got a call from someone asking if I knew that I was on music this morning. Cue speed-walking from the station to college. I didn’t have time to practice with the singers (I found out later that my lovely husband had been around earlier when they were waiting for me and had helped them practice). Thankfully the one song I played was familiar to me and we couldn’t find the music for the other song so we sung it acapella. And it sounded great! We even had some harmonies going on. I’m thankful that it all turned out okay, the singers forgave me and the singing was fantastic. I love music.
What are you thankful for this week?
