Today was such a blessing to me. Philip was off on a job that didn't allow him to come in for dinner. That meant I had the whole day to do as i wanted. I usually am here all morning so that I can have dinner on the table at noon.

 A friend called to meet her in town for dinner. We haven't had a chance to get togather for sometime. It was great to catch up on each others lives.

 Then at noon I meet another friend. we were heading to the Baptist church here in west for a Good Friday service. It was based on the last 7 sayings of Christ. This is the second time I have attended this. 7 preachers, from 7 different churches. It was wonderful! After this ended we were treated to a bbq lunch.

 I am so thankful how far we have come in our society. The Baptist church that hosted this service, is a Africian-American church. I can remember a time, and im 43 years old. That this was unheard of. Wow!  how the barriers have come down. It is awesome how God has worked in this area, in our community. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. I'm so glad that the people in our town see this. Im looking forward to attending again next year.

 After the service I headed to the grocery store. I still needed to get some food for our Sunday meal here. I decided on a full meal. It would be so much simplier to throw a frozen item in the oven, like lasagna. It would serve the purpose. I just think that for me, it just sends a message to my guest that I love to cook and bake. Everyone one of the ladies in our family work outside the home. I just want to provide them with a home cooked meal that they didn't have to prepare. I hope they will have a good time just coming in to relax and enjoy themselves. I decided on baked ham, whipped pototoes, broc/cheese/rice cassorole, red beans, and pies.

 well im off to bed. It has been a long and wonderful day. I'm so blessed to have this life. I hope to share with you more of what it means to me to get to be a homekeeper. I like that word. I have been reading many blogs about this. It has inspired me to really step up and follow the plan that God had for me in store.
