12/17/10 Shopping with Luke

Today, I did what I haven't done since my ashram days. In order to support Rain --she hasn't been away from her family for 10 years or more--it was hard for her to --well, let go and honor herself with this little trip. So, if you can believe, I got myself up at 6:15 a.m. so I could go to the airport with Rain. Also, I felt like I needed to support Luke. He's still coming back energy wise. The weather wasn't ideal and he was tired. So I went for him too.

There was a great, warm feeling in the car. Rain told us that'd she'll never forget our support. And that meant the world to me. Rain was there for me when I had my car accident and was semi conscious in the hospital. It was a rain of GD's.

Then, Luke did a GD for me. I had so many things to accomplish today. Including mailing a heavy box, which would have been so hard to carry. I might have had to ask for help. He isn't used to giving a day to me, but he did and we had so much fun.

The big package was for our Christmas family. This was a group effort--Luke and I, MKate, and Emme. Mkate put her heart and soul into this project for the kids. She made the most adorable T shirts. The kids are going to love those T's. And finally, Rain helped wrap the gifts. Another rain of GD's. We're changing the world with showers of GD's.

Luke helped me all day long. He hates shopping, so this was a sacrifice of love. God blessed him in his sacrifice. None of the stores we shopped at were crowded, which he double hates.

And he helped to chose perfect gifts for all.

Finally, I gave offered walking and walking, which was hard for me. When I see people open their gifts and smile a big smile--it will be a blessing. And I'll be glad that I pushed myself.
