As Delynn and I were walking to school Friday, I decided to take a couple of pictures of Gelbe Sack pickup day. Back when we first arrived, in August 2007, I wrote a blog entry about recycling that generated quite a bit of interest. So, what happens to all of those "gold sacks" full of recycleable stuff? Every household gets a garbage calendar in January which lists local pick-up days. Well, when Gelbe Sack day comes, everyone stacks their sacks outside to await pick-up.
After taking the picture above, we came across a second stack which looked even more German - notice the nicely laid stack with the closed ends all facing the same way. It was for me the epitome of Gelbe Sack day.
Delynn has been a bit under the weather this weekend, so I have been trying to take care of her. (I think the ice cream helped...) I went to worship alone this morning, but it was well worth the trip - Geoff talked about the beginning of Christ's ministry with the invitation to "Come and see" what the Kingdom of God is all about. I also had the priviledge of assisting in the administration of communion which is alway special. We have a very busy week planned - please keep Delynn's (and my) health in your prayers as we really don't have time to have a cold (just like everyone else...) We have several additional meetings planned in addition to our normal committments.
We long for the day, which gets closer every morning, when the temperatures will be warm enough and the sun out late enough for us to sit at an outdoor café and soak in the warmth. May the light and warmth of our Lord bless you and keep you in the week ahead. Keep praying for our leaders.
