Every Second Saturday of the Month

Yesterday I decided not to post anything. There is one day per month I hold a breakfast here and need to be up and atom real early – not just as I normally am, but to prepare for a number of guys that come here for breakfast.
It is called Menzone – sort of a men’s shed thing.  There were 18 guys yesterday.  I really was not sure people would even be able to get here.  A lot of rain had been forecast.  As it turned out the Gold Coast got a drenching, but we missed most of it.  We did get about 25 ml but up to 100 and perhaps a lot more had been forecast.
It was actually a great time and we had about 6 that had never been before or had been once before.  What I really liked was how everyone was engaged in conversation.  I looked around the room (cause that is what I do) and saw there was not one person not talking with the one next to them.  Fair dinkum I love that.  A number had never met some but everyone is friendly enough and interested in others enough to engage in conversation.
As is our custom someone spoke.  It turns out this time the guy came all the way from the house.  It was me.  People were gracious and interested and I was told later the thing spoken about was relevant and impacting.
I was really glad about that as the topic was one that had impacted me big time in recent times.  It was all about purpose.  I proposed we can make it way more complicated than it is.
It had hit me around Christmas time and was our motivation for inviting whoever wanted to to spend Christmas lunch here.  I only recently found out where it was from, but it was the phrase “as much as you have done it to one of the least you are doing it to me.”
What we wanted was to make Christmas as special as we could no matter who turned up.  Turned out there were 7 of us.  I think my and everyone’s purpose is just to love God and others and to demonstrate that.
Anyway I talked briefly on that topic even though at the start I told them I would be brief but to take regular walks and to keep their fluids up.  I was joking and it was brief.
So that was the reason for no post yesterday. There is one today though!
