morning thoughts in a cafe

This morning I am sitting in a European cafe watching the barista make lattes with pretty rosettas on top. They have all sorts of rolls and sweet breads to eat as well as quiches and empanadas. I'm looking at their day-old scones and thinking how well that will go with a cup of tea and reading the newspaper (and dreaming about this little life inside of me)!
I will be here all day today since our car is getting some new brake pads put on. So I have brought books along to keep me company and my computer so I can accomplish some things off my to-do list. Not to mention the many people that will come in and out and how interesting that is. This cafe is also attached to the cooking school where I have taken classes and there is a class this afternoon that I'll join on cooking foods from Argentina.
So for all my Wheaton friends that read this, Peter and I met up with Nancy Swider-Peltz last night in Colorado Springs. We had dinner and toured the Olympic Training Center. We watched some people training: women's wrestling, men's gymnastics, and those lifting or running in the gym. It was so fun to see another Wheatie here in Colorado. And it also made me wonder what all those people that I went to school with are doing now. The Lord has a wonderful way of giving gifts and leading people to his work, as various as it can be. I can only imagine seeing the big picture in Heaven, a beautiful tapestry of intertwined lives and work and gifts.
