Service

We all need someone that is 'watching out for us' -- helping to keep us out of the holes in life. Cricket does it literally for me each day. As I've mentioned previously, Davina spent a couple days following us around and taking fun pictures. In the picture below Cricket has stopped to let me know there is a hold in the walk, as I use my foot to probe to gain an understanding of why she has stopped, she looks up at me to make sure I am aware of the hole so we can proceed around it.
Thank you Cricket for your great service. This time of year (I know it should be always) we are reminded and encouraged to reach out and serve others. Natalie's post today reminded me of the joy of service. I remember the last time we were asked to help clean the church - we did it and Pantera (first guide) was lying in the corner. The sister that had asked us to come help came up and apologized and said ... oh I didn't realize you were blind, I'm sorry I asked you. I said, Thank you so much for asking us to help.
