1.  Being on time for church!  Usually I've been late, because I've had the hardest time making the various connections to church - but now I know, what time is the best to go and make it there on time! :) YAH!

2. Getting invited by 5 different people to come over sometime or have lunch after church!  I felt so special.  It really helps feel at home in a church, when people start showing interest in you.

3. Baked Spaghetti Pie for lunch ... yum :) 

4. Leisure Sunday of resting and catching up w/ family and friends - magic jack has been so wonderful.  I love being able to pick up a phone and call my family and friends in the US!  

5. The smell of vanilla - which is around our house these days!  Gotta love it...

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't
