While You Can
Yesterday we went to church. For us, that is not a given. Normally, we meet at a home. This church is borrowed. The pastor is leaving very soon (compelled, not by choice, not our choice). And our group is small. But, we give thanks for what we occasionally get. Yesterday, the congregation of the church at which we met had a thanksgiving service (in Swiss German, of course) - before our service (in English) - so the decorations were profusely autumnal.
After the service, we all walk a half hour or so (or drive) to a restaurant for a fellowship dinner. The trees are just starting to hint of fall colors. The walnuts are dropping, the corn fields along the path are harvested, and Maria was giving lessons on medicinal herbs along the way.
