almost forgot

I can't believe I almost forgot to mention this!!!!

On Friday at our Open Air, I met a man named Danny. He was very drunk, but very happy to have us in the park and attempted to be inistant that we sing an old hymn that I remember my mom singing around the house when I was a little girl(of course I cannot remember now what it is!!!!).
Anyway, Danny wanted to sing and talk after everyone else was filing out to get to class on time...except for me and Craig. We remained talking to Dan, and me singing the only words to this song that I could remember.
It was pretty cold on Friday, so I had went back to my room to grab my mittens. For those of you who know me well, you can probably imagine the mittens I am speaking of(that's right, the colourful ones that I've had since high school!!). They are my favorite. Or I should say they were my favorite. They are now on the hands of Danny. He saw them and started rubbing his hands into mine trying to take them. At first I was a little put off because there was no way I was going to let this guy take my favorite mitts! Then, after a little prodding from the Holy Spirit, I offered them to Danny and he put them on his hands( they are really small because I have small hands) and raised his hands to the air thanking God for warm hands.
I brought other mittens with me.

Thank God for warm hands.

Blessings.
