I am feeling much better today, but I am grateful that I have the whole morning to take my time about getting ready. Today is the day I work the night shift. I am glad because I need to mail Easter stuff to a few people. I need to do a load of laundry. I need to make some muffins. I need to sit quietly and read. I do all those things. I even catch up with a friend I have not spoken with in awhile. It is nice to have some down time. I completely appreciate it.
I have more errands on my list but decide they can wait. I add pudding to my diet and tolerate it well. By tomorrow I can get back to normal (for me, that is - my normal diet would drive most people up the wall).
I cannot believe it is Holy Week already, even though Sunday was Palm Sunday. I have been perusing the Women's Books of Hours that I borrowed from another library (I know I don't really have time for leisure reading, but it is Holy Week) and am fascinated by the rigor of Medieval women in their private devotional life. Mine pales by comparison. I have a lot to learn.
Here are the events I hope to include for this special week:
Maundy Thursday - service and communion at United Methodist Church of North Chili (where I serve)
Good Friday - noon service of art and music and Scripture at downtown Asbury United Methodist Church [hope to bring Drew and a number of friends]; evening service at Community of the Savior
Holy Saturday - afternoon, Egg decorating activity at my place with former library workers; Vigil at Community of the Savior
Easter - sunrise and regular services at United Methodist Church North Chili.
I invite people to come to any and all of these activities and to let me know of other things available for the celebration of Holy Week. I will miss attending services at the Abbey of the Genesee like I have been able to do in the past, but I can't do everything. O, I forgot to mention borrowing a number of movies about Jesus from Netflix and the local library. Hope your Easter season is peppered with wonderful worship and lots of family and friends.
