I'm very touched today. I took the bus to church which took 1.5 hours. After church pastor and his wife both basically told me that they are picking me up on Saturday mornings. At lunch one of our elders told me "Whatis, you get yourself here and one of us will get you home". We went to sing at a nursing home in the afternoon and two people offered to drive me home afterwards...which is at least half an hour drive each way for them. A fellow church member took me home for the afternoon and we had coffee and a lovely talk and then headed to a social committee meeting. Afterwards pastor and his wife drove me home. I was once told "Adventists take care of each other" and I'm certainly feeling that. A full twelve hour day but a wonderful one. In the two weeks I have been without a car I've been blessed with a growing intimacy with my church mates and certainly feeling cared for. That's a heck of lot of good stuff! Oh and church lady and I shared the same ride to the nursing home and she said "Hey Whatis, you should have no problem finding a girlfriend there!" Some just things never change lol.
