Waiting at the bus stop

I made a new friend. Well I guess he is sort-of a friend.

Every morning at 7:30am I walk to the bus stop down the street to catch the 4 bus north.
I often have to wait anywhere from 5-15 minutes.  But there is no need to worry about me getting bored while I wait.  Everyday, a squirrel (who I have started calling Oscar) entertains me.

Oscar drops acorns on my head. Everyday. Without fail.

While some mornings may be harder than others, Oscar always seems to bring a smile to my face as I often think: this is real life; this is great.

The little moments are often the greatest ones.

Prayer

• Half of our house (Mitch, Mary, Dave & Me) got sick this week and we all seem pretty exhausted. 
• As we all get more familiar with our service sites, I pray that we learn how to be proactive in learning and helping 
• I have some friends and family who are either sick, unhealthy, stressed out, or exhausted. And I just pray for healing and rest and a supportive community of friends.
• I pray that I will actively look for God as I go about my days.
