Home, not homeless

Talk about a way to develop gratitude!
I'm finally home. Exhausted, grimy, headachy, but extraordinarily grateful for the blessings God's given me.
After my last post, I got a run of business. More of the same stuff. Some people just needed information. The one of the event coordinators came by as the VA guys and I were packing up, and wanted to know how many people we had served. I had only partially kept track and guesstimated I had talked to about 30 people. He said around 600 had signed in and gotten their wristbands. (They weren't supposed to receive services if they didn't have a wristband. I served them anyway, and so did a lot of other people.)
It rained off and on throughout the day. Every now and then our canopy would reach critical mass and dump a load of water off the edges.
I spotted at least one of the local working girls in the crowd. She wasn't working, she was there getting services. I hope a few of her sisters took advantage of this event as well.
47 books were taken out of the 66 I brought.
Spouse just brought me a root beer float. I'm going to take a couple of aspirin and have a hot bath. Early bedtime for me this evening. I sing at church tomorrow morning and have that audition tomorrow afternoon.

Now, if I just remember to breathe properly.... ;-)
