Fourth entertainment event at our place in eight days. I’m
on first names with the folk at Tesco as I dive in practically daily.
There’s a few plus points on having a rolling diary of
events. Having picked up the clutter in many rooms, it hasn’t had time to slump
back onto chairs and tables in quite the usual amounts. A quick dash round in a
few minutes should complete the tidying, then a zip through with a duster.
We’re eating well. If it’s not the original dishes it’s the
leftovers the next day. Desserts in abundance; good for the taste buds – bad for
the figures.
We’re enjoying meeting new people, getting better acquainted
with folk we don’t know very well, and enjoying close friends and family.
The downside, from my point of view, is the number of hours
I’ve spent both at Tesco’s and in the kitchen over these last eight days, and
that’s with keeping meals fairly simple and relaxed.
Jesus enjoyed parties and gatherings with friends, and he
didn’t need fancy food or well-dusted houses. He told Martha to relax and
hinted that she should join her sister Mary in just enjoying his presence
rather than racing round trying to make everything tidy and perfect.
I’m taking that story to heart, so that tonight I will enjoy
our company and not be so worn out I haven’t the energy to contribute to the
conversation.
