We're a week into October already. Leaves have started changing and falling, but we haven't seen full autumn color yet. We should in the next week or two! Meanwhile, I am rejoicing in cool mornings and evenings. Here are a few other reasons for rejoicing this week, and sharing with Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story.
1. Being treated to dinner out with new friends. A couple at church invited us out to eat, and we enjoyed getting to know them better.
2. Care group meeting. The church we've been attending divides up into smaller care groups, each under an elder. We knew they had them but didn't really know how they operated or where or with whom. But someone invited us to theirs, which meets every other week, usually in the elder's home. It's mainly a way to get to know each other in a smaller group setting, share prayer requests, etc. And have snacks. 
3. A free (sort of) car wash. Jim took my car in to be serviced, get the oil changed, etc., and was offered a free car wash. I'm sure the price was incorporated into service fee, as it seemed rather high. But that's all the more reason to take advantage of it.
4. A good movie. Last night we watched A Million Miles Away, about Jose Hernandez, who as a child worked with his migrant parents in various fields and grew up to fulfill his dream of becoming an astronaut.
5. Days at home. Though I enjoyed the social encounters over the weekend, I was very glad to spend most of the rest of the week at home with no out-of-the-ordinary outings. I'm not one who can go-go-go a lot.
I hope you've had a good week as well!
