So tonight, after our little fellowship group, Jackie decided to surprise Grace with a bit of a treat at dinner. We all sat down for dinner, and Grace went to dig into the little plastic bag that had been so lovingly and thoughtfully placed in front of her. Much to the shock and surprise of both Jacks and Grace, rather than goat cheese, all Grace came up with was a bag full of half-chewed chicken bones. Not quite what Jackie had in mind... and, well, after a long day and way too many months in this city, it set poor little Jackie off in peals of laughter. With tears rolling down her cheeks, we thought we were going to have to bring the counsellors up here to bring her away!
It really wasn't all that funny, but really just goes to show how much joy and laughter we get out of the most mundane daily events around here. And that is a real blessing. I don't know what I would do if we didn't all just truly enjoy each other's company day in and day out, all the time. I'm so thankful for that.
