Little things

We went out walking just as the sun was rising.  The weather was nice and we looked up and saw a pattern of jet trails across the sky like a patchwork quilt.  It was so pretty with sun coming up.   I should have had my camera.   We spent the afternoon looking for someone to visit because of two cancelled appointments.  We didn’t find many people, but just as were trying to decide where to go next, we heard the Elders voices.  They were just walking to the train station loaded down with luggage for their transfer.   We offered to give them a ride and they were grateful.  It felt good to be in the right place at the right time to help someone.  We attended our meetings tonight at the church.  When we came home we ran into Mark our neighbor.  We had invited their family for dinner and we thought they didn’t want to come when they didn’t show up.  We had been praying for a chance to talk to them.  We were grateful for the opportunity.  There had been a mix –up in the date.  Lucy had also been in a car accident.

I happened to have a plate of brownies with me so I gave them to him to take to her.  Our prayer was answered.   They are moving Saturday.  We are going to help them on Saturday morning.  

We got to say goodbye to Elder Wilkerson and help he and his companion
get to the train station because we were in the right place at the right time.

This is where we go to church on Sunday.  The chapel has some of the biggest windows
I have ever seen in a Chapel.  I like them.

Monday, we went to Southport to see the Beach.  It was low tide
so we didn't get to see very much.

We live near the Manchester ship canal.  It is pretty.  We often walk across
this bridge when we exercise.  

The view from the other direction

The interesting thing about this bridge and some of the others is that they swing
open so a ship can pass through the canal.  Traffic is stopped until the ship has passed.
