Since I learned that my grandson will be moving soon, it seemed necessary to have my family over before he leaves. Not only that, both my son’s birthdays are coming up, so we had much to celebrate. After talking about what kind of food to have, we decided on German. It was somewhat surprising since my son and his new wife went to Oktoberfest in Munich just a couple weeks ago and had the same food every day. I placed my food order at the local, very popular German bakery and delicatessen. That way I could arrive at 8:00 am instead of when they opened at 7:00 am. When I got there, it was already packed and people were coveting the 12 bratwurst buns that were all ready for me as they waited for the next batch to come out of the oven. Since I was there, I had to get the special cookies and treats and left with almost more than I could carry. The food was all prepared by the shop, so there was minimal prep and everything was so delicious. My son and his wife told fun stories about the real Oktoberfest. We toasted to my grandson’s new opportunity, while lamenting that we would not be getting all together like this as often any more. In all, it was another wonderful celebration with my family and I once again felt truly blessed.

I Found God today celebrating my family.
