 I had a busy day.

So what's new about that?  Walter and I are planning a trip to the Maritimes to visit our NCEM staff serving there.  We will visit every province except PEI this time...we are so blessed to have such opportunities.  We'll take planes, ferries and trucks on our travels.  And I hope we can enjoy fresh seafood!

I spent a few hours coordinating about a dozen missionaries, figuring out distances from Arrowhead Native Bible Centre in New Brunswick to each of the locations we will visit.  So stay tuned for the blog entries as I have time to write and record our adventures!

Another new thing around home is...SNOW! I'm never quite ready for winter, but once the snow arrives and I get acclimatized to the cold temperatures, it is enjoyable.  The cool, crisp air, the fresh white snow cover and the cozy sweaters are wonderful winter blessings!  

I had to run an errand today and consumer Christmas assaulted me.  The stores are decorated, displays of gifts, puzzles, onesie pajamas and much, much more made me feel the panic that I'm not ready for the season yet!  By the time we are back from Eastern Canada, I will have to get serious about Christmas preparations.  Should be enough time - 25 days!

We delivered some cookies this afternoon to our friends.  A family member is in palliative care and we wanted to support and bless them during this difficult time.  When we left an hour or so later, we felt loved and cared for!  It's funny how with some friends, you go with the intention of ministering to them and you leave the richer because they think of others before themselves.

And now our evening has been quiet.   A returned phone call to confirm another connection for our trip east, Amazon Prime and cup of tea.  A text of our little granddaughter while she's awake!  My she's growing quickly.

And that's a day in the life of the Selkes!
