I've talked often about Saturday in our house being a day that we make different from all the rest. We don't use an alarm clock, we don't answer phones or do email, we eat donuts (essential), and we spend time creating family memories together. This morning was a pretty special Saturday.
After meandering out of bed and getting dressed, we picked up Jaley from a sleepover and headed over to Lakeview Pantry for grocery delivery. On our way we prepped the kids that we'd be offering to pray for the people we delivered to as well as delivering their groceries.
At the first home I had Tyce, Lena and Olivia with me (while Gil and Jaley were double-parked downstairs). The woman we visited was grateful that we would offer to pray. We held hands in a circle together as we prayed. She was touched and hugged all the kids before we left. Happened again at another of the houses when we were all able to go up for the delivery. She was also very receptive and grateful.
Afterward we headed off to Swedish Bakery to grab our Saturday-essential-donuts and then spied the Puppet Bike across the street! (We had seen a spot on PBS the night before and the kids thought it was cool.) We hustled over to catch the unique show and munch our donuts. Good times.
