Bear Meter

I kind of gave Care Bear the cold shoulder last night and woke up feeling a lot more enthusiastic about him this morning. This is what sitting alone at church, cooking for myself, and going for a long walk alone will do for me. Care Bear has similar habits, and in my mind would do the same things I would on a Sunday.

I didn't want to go to set-up team this morning at church. A lot of inner grumbling about how it would end up being me and an older gentleman who has a lot of health problems and where are the strong men? God heard me in spite of that, and miraculously every time I tried to pick up something heavy, a man showed up to help. That was a first, and it made me feel jollier for my 3-6 yr old Sunday school class (the play doh I brought helped too). Then a woman I barely know stopped to thank me for helping. God knew I needed someone to help carry physical burdens today before launching into a week of carrying other people's emotional ones.
