Simple Sunday

~Thankful for so much it’s crazy!

• Thankful for this class being over–it was a busy five weeks.
• Thankful to be done with my case presentation.
• Thankful to be done with clinical rotations–only 3 more weeks ’til I’m done with the internship for keeps!
• Thankful for good friends and a great family (who I now have time to spend with since the above is done.)
• And mostly, thankful that my bike wasn’t stolen this afternoon.

I’ve had shoes stolen out of my car at that library–so when I realized I hadn’t brought my bike lock, I was a bit aprehensive. I fiddled about with the bike for what was like five minutes, trying to decide whether to actually go in and browse like I had planned. Finally I decided I might as well leave it in God’s hands and go get my books.

Boy was I relieved when it was still there–and with all it’s doo-dad’s too.

~Thankful for a chance to be silly with some of the “adults” at my church. We just finished a round of Sunday school classes–and, as is our tradition, we had a Sunday school fellowship hour to wrap up this segment and begin the next.

We fellowshipped for a half an hour or so over coffee and donuts–then my dad, the elder in charge of Sunday Schools, handed out little scraps of paper in preparation for some Bible trivia. The Bible trivia was a lot of fun–and got even funner when some of the *ahem* adults in the room decided to start making and launching paper airplanes using the leftover scraps of paper.

Absolute hilarity.

Just to clarify, I was not one of the *ahem* adults who started the juvenile behavior. Both the youth and the 20S Sunday School were decorous almost until the end. The instigator was a woman who shall remain nameless but who happens to be a mother of a couple of 20S and a youth–and the wife of an elder currently on furlough.

~Thankful for the little silly times with my Dad. Sticking our noses together and moving our heads–“Your eyes are bobbling up and down!” Kicks in the butt and flight lessons. Chasing us around the yard with a stick [a pencil, folks, calm down!] Dancing in the living room to “We wanna see Jesus lifted high”. Right angles in the library stacks. Exploring “evolution” by walking like an ape in the basement of Morril hall. And occasionally breaking out in loud and nerdy snorts in the midst of a game of Pit.

Thankful for this year’s high school seniors who are staying in Lincoln after they graduate. I don’t know what I’d do if they left.

John and Steve around 6 years old.

Congratulations to Steve (this week), John (two weeks from today), and Joanna (next month). I’m so glad you’re going to stick around–we won’t have to break up the gang quite yet.

Thankful for friends who pray and a God who heals.

“If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” (Exodus 15:26)

In Christ, I have heeded the voice of God and done what is right in His sight. While in my flesh, I have not kept the commandments of God–in Christ, I have fulfilled all the commandments and statutes of God. And in Christ, I am healed.

Thankful for those willing to stand with me in believing that God can heal and is healing me.

Thankful for getting close to done with the cross stitch sampler I started eight or nine years ago.

Thankful for the rental car that I’m driving while waiting for insurance to pay me for my totalled car. I don’t know what I’d do if I had to try doing this community rotation without a vehicle.

(And check out this gal’s “Red Hat Society” console–it makes me smile every time I have to drive in the dark.)

Thankful for my sister’s medical textbooks (on the right) that have allowed me to get a good background on a disease before I figure out how to treat it with diet. I don’t know what I’d do without them (see my books on the left?)
