Typical Sunday

I have done very little today. Got up in time to make it to church and Sunday school. One of the young female choir members on a riser just beneath the men all but passed out. I saw one of the men point to her. The next thing we knew, they were walking her out. She was on her feet but it looked like the men were doing most of the walking for her. One of the pastors went to minister to her. Turns out that she was having some kind of a blood sugar crash...and she's pregnant. She was okay, but went home. It was all handled very tastefully. I'm sure she was embarrassed but there was no need to feel that way! *My church does prayer blankets. If someone is in need of prayer, someone can order a blanket that is embroidered with a graphic and scripture of choice, then congregation members come up to place their hands on the blankets and pray over them. I always go up to pray over the blankets because my co-grandparents ordered one for me when I was recovering from brain surgery, and it meant so much. A blanket offered for prayer today made me cry. One of our members is a pediatrician who ordered a blanket for one of her 7-year-old patients who has an inoperable brain tumor. The child is not part of our congregation but Dr. Kinnamon is...and she felt the need to comfort the family in this way. It must be tough to deal with young ones who are so sick. God bless her for caring that much...and God bless the family that faces untold heartache in the months ahead. Every day of my life, I thank God that my own grandchildren (who are that age and near that age) are healthy. It is a gift that can change in a moment. So, I prayed over the blanket, then went back to the pew and wept. Again. *On my way to church this morning, I noticed that that the Public Library was registering 6 degrees on its display. Yesterday morning, it was 15 degrees...but today felt so much warmer. The difference was the lack of wind. We are expecting 2-4 inches of snow sometime tomorrow evening, I think. My radio club meets tomorrow evening. If the stuff is coming down, I won't go even though I am the club secretary. I'm a wimp. Just don't take the kinds of chances that I used to because there is no one here to rescue me. I have friends who are willing, of course, but they are all in the same situation as I--OLD AGE. It gets tough to adjust to not being able to do the things that used to be so easy!! *Travel is in my near future. Megan and Denis went out to see if they could spot whales on the coast today. I hope they did!
