Wednesday Hodge Podge

Hosted by Joyce.

1. Something you've done in recent days or months that might be described as a labor of  love?  I was part of a team at church that collected several loads of food to serve a low income community in our city during the early summer.

2. Last time you 'worked your fingers to the bone?The last couple of weeks I  am working with a team organizing a huge mass of donated items for an upcoming yard sale at our church.  The proceeds are for an important improvement to our church to be used for community outreach. 

3. According to a recent survey people named the following ten jobs as the hardest-nurse, doctor, paramedic, police officer, firefighter, surgeon, healthcare worker, bomb squad, farmer, and prison warden. Of the jobs listed which would you say is the hardest? The one you'd most like to do? Least like to do? What's one job you would add to the list? Hardest- police officer in this national climate:To be honest, I’m not wanting to do any of these jobs.   Whateve4 energy I have is spent  working in my church and supporting our amazing pastor: I would definitely add teacher to the list, my goodness the job was very trying for me and I retired in 2003 after 30 years.  Today it is much much harder!

4. A recipe you make that is labor intensive, but worth it?

I don’t cook that way anymore.  So I’m having a hard time remembering, although I have done multi step recipes. I can think of several cakes that were very labor intensive, but I’m not sure of the recipes.

5. Last job you did or task you completed that required teamwork?

It seems most of the jobs undertaken at church require teamwork...it is so important that church members get involved and help with projects.  It takes the whole ‘body’! 

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

Now that I am feeling better and my mobility is back to somewhat of capacity my mind reels with ideas for autumn that I want to accomplish.  But I fear it is that my spirit is willing but my strength says, ‘What are you talkin about!”   It is a small battle with “me “because  I have been so lethargic during my immobile season,  as I gain more energy, my spirit shouts out, “ jump up now and bake a pumpkin pie, “   but once I make it to the kitchen my body screams, “What are you doing?”
