Ladies Meeting

This past Saturday we had the first Ladies Meeting in over a year. During my pregnancy we had to cancel almost everything I was involved in. We had a special potluck meeting at our house. We invited 20 ladies and of those 20, 16 actually came. We had Becky Jackson come and give a devotional on the right kind of love.

For our game that day, we had the ladies pair up in groups of two (non-family members) for a Bible scavenger hunt. First they had to find what to look for by looking up a specific Bible reference and then they had to go out and find that item. I had Jason hide all of the items for me so I couldn't help anyone. It was amazing what some ladies found that was not part of the scavenger hunt. One of the references mentioned nails and one of the ladies brought back a log with a bunch of nails in it. Many things were buried in the yard and were from the last tenant of this house.

We made woven heart baskets from construction paper for a craft. I thought they would get it, but I ended up doing a great majority of the baskets for people. I guess the next time I will have to find something much easier.

The puppies that our dog had 6 weeks ago kept getting into the house. I announced that we were still trying to give one of them away. I had two girls instantly say, "I want one." The only problem was that there was only one left. The other two were already promised. Thankfully both girls wanted a different puppy and we talked to one of the people who had wanted one and he was glad to give it to someone else as "he really wanted a male".

The next day in church, Karina, brought her new puppy to church. It was dressed up in a ribbon and sweater. She even showed us pictures on her cell phone of the bed she made for the dog. It is actually a bed with four posters. It was really cute. She told me that she would not bring the dog to church next week. I hope this is true as I had to watch nursery along with the puppy.

Matthew is crying now. That nap was way too short. At least you all know that we are still alive.
