Today was a great day. I had a nice face time call with Lily first thing in the morning and then I spent a bunch of time cleaning and getting the house looking nice for Lily’s return. Then the kids and I attended the kids session of church. It was a wonderful anti-racism lesson, and all the kids in the class gave great comments (including Clarissa who introduced herself by saying she liked purple and pink and unicorns).
Then I attended the adult session of church. We talked about the principle of faithful disagreement in the Community of Christ. It is a beautiful principle, and it is outlined at this link. I felt so nourished from church. I planned to multi-task and work on the house, but I became so absorbed in the lesson that I didn’t get any of those extra things done!
After church, I cleaned the kitchen, and folded a bunch of laundry (thank you Lydia and Mary for helping!). At this point of the day I was all, but insisting that people stay on screens so the house could stay nice. We also had lunch and did karaoke before heading off to………..Pick up Lily!
It was so great to see Lily! She was sick, tired, and hungry, but yet glowing from her trip. It was so fun to catch up, and I can tell being with Jenn, having so many new experiences, and having a break from the day-to-day was good for her soul. And it was so good to have her back!
We went to Spitz for dinner and then went home and watched Lydia’s 5th grade patriotic program (see below) before all going to bed.
