Got a little shopping done for the stockings this afternoon. And then went visiting teaching. The message this month was a good one not only for me to hear but for me to give. When you teach you learn more somehow. Ahh. Lightbulb moment. Guess that's the wisdom in being a visiting teacher and also being visit taught.
This evening was our 17th annual neighborhood Christmas party. We had good food, good company, good games, good laughs, and good gift exchange. Lots of stealing this year! It was nice to talk and reflect on this past year. It was almost one year ago to the day that our street was evacuated and flooded with mud, debris, and water. The families at the bottom of the street for the most part are rebuilt and back into their homes. One is still in progress. It has been quite the year and we reflected on the blessings it has brought after that terrible early morning.
There were about 30 of us last night. We come from different professions, family circumstances, religions, but have a genuine affection and respect for each other. Good people and nice to celebrate the season with them.
