We had a very eventful day today. First, our church had a Family Fun Day where we had a park church service, lunch, and then games for the kids and kids at heart. We also brought food to feed the homeless. Lily was great; she slept the whole time in my carrier that I wear. When she woke up after a good while, she laid down under an umbrella and talked and cooed. It was great.
The best thing about the day, besides a ton of visitors, was a story Jason told me. He was talking to one of the ushers after service. The usher was telling Jason about collecting the offering. He didn't pass the basket to some homeless gentlemen, because he didn't want them to feel obligated to give. Everyone needs to give as they see fit. But the gentlemen waved him over, and they gave their offering to God. Now I know that just because someone is homeless, it does not mean they have no money. But to give in that way, when you aren't sure where you will sleep that night, or possibly what you will eat, was very encouraging. It made us think of the woman with the two copper pennies. It really was the best part of the day. I think Jesus smiled for that one.
Later Lily, Jason, and I went to Boo at the Zoo with some friends. We saw a cute magic show and got candy. Lily got a little grumpy and when we got home and changed her diaper, we found out why. Sneaky pooper. I'll post a picture after I edit it. Not of the diaper, but of the three of us. She's got some redeye to get rid of.
Overall a really nice day.
