Ladies' Fellowship

So, tonight I have a whole bunch of ladies/gals from the church coming to our 'Secret Garden'. Once a month, we meet at someone's home to have fellowship, savour baked goods, and sharpen our knitting skills. Hahaha... I'm not exactly the knitting type, so I usually just watch those who are in admiration. It has been a wonderful way for me to meet people from the church- young and old. I volunteered to host for tonight, and I have about an hour before they will all drive up and try to cram into our tiny cottage. I had to borrow blue, plastic chairs from the school because we don't have enough! They don't exactly fit the cozy ambience, but beggars can't be choosers. I have baked some fresh apple/berry pie (I even made the pastry by hand :), raspberry cheescake cups and the famous "Teresa Cookies"... although I almost destroyed those by forgetting to double certain parts of the recipe! These evenings remind me again of how thankful I am to God for such a warm church family. Even though I don't knit, they still accept me :)...imagine that!
