Make Life Meaningful Monday- September 24

There are always many things that make my life meaningful on a Monday.  On this day, they are our church friends.  We are so blessed to have found a church home that is welcoming and warm, vibrant and active and  good and holy.  We were made to feel at home from the minute we walked in the door.  The journey to find a church home was not an easy one, but I really believe that God lead us to where He wanted us to be and the journey "home" wasn't without trial or pain, but we have been so rewarded in so many ways.

On Saturday, we held a fundraiser for our family retreat. (that is such an extraordinary experience.  I can't wait to blog about it come late October!)  We hold several fundraisers over the course of the year so the cost for each family will be significantly reduced.

The fundraiser was a "Quizzo" night.  What is Quizzo?  It is a trivia-style game with tables of 10 people all dressed according to a theme that they pick.  Last year's was a big success, so we on the committee opted for a second-go-round this year.

Our table's theme was Hawaiian luau and boy did we deck ourselves out.  :-)  We had so much fun.  We did more laughing and just enjoyed being in each other's company.  We do faith-sharing with each other weekly come Advent and Lent, but it has been awhile since Palm Sunday, so we were all so glad to all be together in the same place at the same time.  :-)

We did really well, too, coming in 2nd place.  We missed out by 2 points.  We realized we shouldn't have changed a few answers here and there, but we were already winners.  We got to spend the evening with dear friends and enjoy each other's food, drink and company.  It doesn't get a whole lot better than that.

Hope you had a good weekend, as well!
