The weather has been so great lately. And now the daffodils are in full bloom.
I love these yellow beauties

Monday we went for a visit up north, to our good friends and because MT needed to give a blood sample (or how to put it in English ) in the hospital. He did well, by the way, didn’t hurt a bit he told me. But he didn’t want to do it again – so there. The nurse gave him a big and colorful bandage and he got a colorful (and hairy) pink troll as a price as well. Good boy!!

The children had some fun hours playing together and I got to catch up a bit with my friend, and the little one – she’s gotten so big already!! Hopefully we’ll meet more frequently now the spring is here. February and March have been some busy months, so far. We planned to meet up to celebrate MT’s baptism 1 years anniversary on Easter Day. So it won’t be long before we’ll see them.

Tuesday I had a full day of work and then we had our Sunday school on Tuesday. But only one child in addition to MT came. They had a fun time playing with balls and then they wanted me to tell them about Easter and what Easter Jesus experienced. It was great to get this question and we had a wonderful time going through much of the stories for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. In a way it was a relief to only have two to focus on for a change (usually we are around 8 or 10).

Today, Wednesday, we’ve had our regional gathering of the pastors and also, this day, of many of the church musicians. It’s nice to have a day to plan together and meet like this, since most of us do work a lot on our own more or less. Today we had a visitor that told us about the ongoing work for revitalizing our church’s main service form and liturgy. The key word for the future, in addition to the Jesus centered ones, are: Flexible, Involving and Local. I thing this is going to be a great and needed reform and really do look forward to 2010 when we for real can put it into our church life!!

Later I spent some time playing football/soccer with my boy. He so love it when I have some time for that and today he even called me cool(!) since I can shoot the ball way up in the air and quite a distance according to him After we ate our very first ice lolly of the year; it tasted sooooo good!! It felt like summer and I love the thought of that To finish of our healthy day we ate hot dog as dinner…. Then MT was put to bed, and I got some time for my self!

So there, a little bit of update, but now I have to prepare for tomorrow. I’m going to visit MT’s kindergarten to tell about Christian Easter and then we’re having a staff meeting where we’re going to figure out how to save money on our church budget, that already are way to small. That won’t be much fun, but I do hope we can find some creative solutions that work when we all put our minds together.

Good night!
And do remember to smell the flowers, outside or inside as you wish….
Hugs!
