My Day

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

Good Evening Friends,

It was a beautiful day here in my hometown. There was a celebration today at church for my Pastor and his dear wife. It was their 50th anniversary. And it was a moving presentation organized, mainly, by their adult children. He pastored our church for 34 years and still serves as Pastor Emeritus and Sunday School teacher, etc. She used to teach Christian school and Sunday School. They are a wonderful couple! I felt privileged and blessed to have been an observer in this event.

Oh! But before that, this morning I had the opportunity to go to our local city farmers market with my lovely wife and beautiful step-daughter (who is home for the weekend with her new husband of just less than a month). We had breakfast at the farmers market and did a little shopping. Then I got a chance to spend some time with her one on one. It was nice. I couldn't have hand-picked better step-children. I love them like they are my own. Though I wouldn't wish divorce on my worst enemy.

We finished up the day by having my step-daughter and a friend of hers from high school for dinner. I hated to see her go. But that is part of life, I guess. Now, a few last minute chores to finish up before going to bed and church tomorrow.

Well, that's my day. I hope yours was a good one.
