The kids and I went to the early service together. There were more people than expected so by the time we arrived the elders said they were out of bulletins. I thought that was kind of a nice surprise and we sat down and had church to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. After church I went over and said hi to the man who calls me slim because I hadn’t talked to him in quite a while. He said he thought he’d done something wrong.
And I come in just a little bit late every time, and lately he’s been the ride for another man who wasn’t there this time. I told him he hadn’t done anything I’m just anti-social in church sometimes, plus the things that he mentioned. I updated him about school and I said he really does need to come and see me when I’m done and I would talk to my boss so that he wouldn’t have to pay anything. He said I will have to give him a card.
I said that I will, but thinking about it more he probably could start even sooner than that. His wife doesn’t let him out much since she’s started having health problems because she doesn’t like to be left alone. He said he doesn’t get lonely because he has his puzzles and cats. He said but how are you doing personally, are you happy? I said I was. I just can’t believe we hadn’t talked in that long and I should’ve said hello sooner.
We thought we better head into the breakfast. The kids had already got their food and Dad was waiting in the back. We went through the line and a man said, “Are you eating? I have never seen you eat”. I thought it was weird that he said that because I at times try to get food so that people see that I eat. I had two pieces of casserole, a banana muffin, and some fruit. I wasn’t super hungry but enjoyed the table time with Dad and the kids.
We had to get home after that. Zorro hurt his leg yesterday when he jumped up on Miles. Somehow he ended up slipping and landing on his leg wrong and hasn’t moved much since the morning when this happened. It’s been kind of difficult to watch him be miserable but I’ve been powerless to get him looked at any sooner than tomorrow. I tend to shut down in these situations. Last night I told him Jesus loved him very much.
