Sunday Funday happened on Monday this week because on Sunday we celebrated 6 years of Cajueiro Claro:
It has been a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving week (end). Even though we were far from home, we had so many friends have us over and coming over, and my mashed sweet potatoes turned out perfectly. Thank you for your prayers as we leave this Thursday for ze US of A. We are excited to be sharing at the Christmas bazaar on Saturday (Come!) and with the kids at Shelbyville Community church on Sunday. Next week's Sunday Funday is going to look and feel VERY different.
Reads from the Interwebs;
1. Are we complaining too much? The balance between authenticity and whining. Hard to find.
2. The cure if you are bored with the Christian life; "Because sometimes the Gospel looks like a plate of food and sometimes it looks like a job. But it always looks like showing up."
3. How to avoid becoming a "White saviour". I am really loving everything from Craig Greenfield these days--I couldn't even wait until Sunday to read his stuff. THIS. IS. POWERFUL. And so important. Sidekick manifesto; because "In the story of poverty's end, we can only be the sidekick."
