Moving Day Priorities

This week we helped our newly married son and his wife move into their first apartment together.

It was a fun and exciting time for them to be able to set up house together for the first time. There were all sorts of fun things to unpack. Wedding presents to unbox. Decisions to be made for furniture placement. Deciding what drawers to put things in and who gets what side of the closet.

It was fun to watch and help them in the process. No doubt as time goes on adjustments will be made and things will be moved around.

During moving day I paused to reflect on all the stuff one accumulates over time. There's a real moving day coming...an eternal one!

We have a high level of vaccination in the State of Washington, and we are still in a pandemic where good health and safety habits are still important.

Individuals who are fully vaccinated (series of shots + 2 weeks) are no longer required to wear a mask at church. Individuals who are not fully vaccinated are still required to wear a mask at church. Some individuals who are vaccinated are choosing to remain masked because of unvaccinated family members.

As always, kindness and grace to each other in our interactions goes a long way.
