It's been a busy week, and a mixed one. At this point, I'm trying very hard to focus on the good things and not let the one major frustration get to me. We have a huge memorial service coming up on the 14th. I met with the family last Sunday, and they promised to get me a bunch of information so I could have a draft of the service ready for them when we meet again this Sunday. Wednesday I said I needed the material by 9:00 Thursday if they wanted to see a draft. Yesterday evening I asked for an update and an estimate as to when they might be able to get the material to me. I have heard nothing. I should just resign myself to not having anything for them to look at Sunday, but I keep hoping they'll get the material to me and I can put something together and get it to Administrative Assistant today. It's supposed to be my day off, but if the information comes in, I will want to work with it. I'm frustrated that they haven't even given me an update or estimate as to when they will get the material to me....
I need to let that go, and focus instead on the good things. We had an awesome book discussion Wednesday night. We started with 3 people last month, and we're now up to 10. The discussion was great. A woman who has been visiting worship the last few weeks came and was very engaged in the discussion. I'm looking forward to our next gathering on Wednesday.
I have the sermon for Sunday pretty much done. I need to finalize the PowerPoint, and even that is close to done. I have a list of things I'd like to get done around the house today-- it is my day off, and I am going to take it. Daughter is happy, and we had a good visit yesterday evening and this morning. I am picking her up tomorrow afternoon, and she'll stay until after lunch on Sunday. There are many more joys right now, so I'm going to set the frustration aside for now.
