We took the day off for two reasons - 1. We were just tired!!! 2. We wanted to spend some time looking for a different route through KS to the Katy Trail in Missouri. Both were accomplished! We also had a chance to go to Mass this evening. That was something that was important to us this week.. We have good friends and relatives that have had some very serious medical issues this week. It was good to be able to sit in a quiet place to pray and reflect. While sitting in church I had a thought about our ride. There have been some very difficult times for us, but when we end each day and think about the accomplishment of the day we feel good. When we are able to add to that, the experiences we have had with people it is even more of a positive thing for us. Hearing that other people are enjoying our blog and sticking with us is really neat.
At church this evening it began raining and of course blowing very very hard. Most people did not leave the church after Mass, they were waiting for the rain to slow down. A lady asked us what we were doing and after a brief conversation offered to take us back to the hotel. That was such a relief. We were about eight blocks from the hotel and we would have been drenched. Another act of doing something for others. Believe me, we were very grateful. Like Plymouth there were tornado warnings and sightings in the area this afternoon. We are glad we are in a hotel tonight.
Today, I would just ask that when you think about doing something for others - it could be a special act or it may be that time of reflection, prayer that someone needs. Whatever it is please take a moment and do it.
Hannah, Patti, Michelle, and Mel are in our special prayers today.
May the rains and winds stop overnight - until tomorrow -
Jack and Mary Kay
