1. Bought Easter Candy for the church
As the Easter season approaches, the church that I attend have sent out help signals for bags of Easter Candy. The kind that is small enough to fit in one of those plastic egg shells. Sean loves Easter Egg hunting, but will be attending a friends church party instead of going to our regular church. Anyway, I know that this is a popular event and the downtown neighborhood kids all come out for it - both young and old. So while I was buying Easter Candy for Sean's other party, I picked up an extra bag for this need as well. Besides, who can resist bite size chocolates and jelly beans?
2. Held up music for another performer
So we were right in the middle of performing a song during service today, when the music stand of the keyboardist decided not to cooperate. Needless to say she was using her hands to play and couldn't adjust the stand/music. So as the music was about to fall over I simply grabbed it, held it up, and kept singing - sort of like a balancing act. Like they say - the show must go on.
3. Got another child a snack
So my son and this other child in the church were assigned 'jobs' after the service today. The children's educational group is doing a fundraiser where they are selling coloring sheets of chickens for $1. All the money will go to purchase real chickens to help feed the hungry in depleting countries. It was conversation time, which really means snack time for my son and the rest of the children in the service. So I got my son a few snacks as he continued to advertise and sell the chickens. When I gave him the small plate of a few snack pretzels and 1/2 cup of juice, his partner asked her mom for some snack too. Noticing that the other mother didn't hear, I simply went over and got her a small plate of pretzels and a cup of juice too. It was easy to do since they were collecting money to feed others.
4. Bought Pink Gloves for special activity
So in the midst of doing grocery shopping I noticed this display stand of simple gardening gloves. Instantly I saw the pink ones and thought about this special activity that we are going to have later this week. It is a special Student/Staff Basketball game that all of the proceeds will sponsor the local Breast Cancer Awareness division. There will also be some silent auction items and raffles that will be taken place throughout the game. These simple pink gardening gloves were a perfect addition to this event.
5. Bought snacks for morning meeting
Morning meetings are rough for everyone, but are more manageable for everyone when there is food involved. So as our Student Assessment Specialist carried on with the meeting and described plans for future exams, we were able to focus with having both mental and physical nourishment. Besides, who doesn't like a muffin?
