Baby shower for Brinley

Yesterday, the staff at the library where I work had a baby shower for Brinley. We had a great time. Michele and I feel somewhat overwhelmed by the kindness of people around us here at Taylor. Every night this week, someone has made dinner for us. In addition to that, last night our next door neighbor came over to give us a homemade apple pie that she had baked for us. It was delicious! I read a scripture today that seemed to really fit with what I needed to hear: (John 15:5) [Jesus says] “I am the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he bears much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” If I’m not close to Him, it is no wonder then that I feel overwhelmed and anxious by various circumstances and responsibilities. “Apart from me, you can do nothing.”
