40 started with a bang
What a 40th! I am so rich – rich in people who love and accept me. Last night, about 40 people dressed up in pirate costume and joined the incredible spectacle that was “the ministry centre”, but turned into a corsair flying pirate colours for the evening. I was blown away at first sight of everyone as I came up the steps. Everyone was dressed up and looking perfect for a pirate party… except for some guy who wore a skirt and another who wore a suit and said he was a detective. :)
Pris orchestrated the efforts of 10 or so people who made the night real special for everyone by decorating and cooking and organizing and looking after kids. Shane and Jemi bought some great fireworks (and narrowly missed manslaughter charges being laid against them when one of the packages fell on its side and sprayed exploding balls in four different directions). But it all worked together to make the night something that was perfect. Negatives: I only had one stomach available and by desert time it was already at 90% capacity.
I’m sure that until dementia hits, this night will be remembered by everyone.
And after a night like that one, how can I talk about anything else?
I am thankful, blessed, amazed, loved, and getting older, but feeling younger than I did a year ago. :) What is God if not loving???
