You know it's going to be a good day when a vivid rainbow shoots across Honiara's harbor and when the Resurrection Cookies turn out better than they ever have before. We did accidently leave the oven on when the cookies went in, so they got a little bit extra heat. We may do that on purpose every year from now on!
After home church, we gathered as a SITAG family for a lunch potluck. The Solomon Islands still doesn't have any cases of COVID-19, so we are doing our best to be wise and cautious, but not fearful. Olivia picked up the mantle of making the coconut cake,
Aaron made his traditional cross biscuits, and we feasted and celebrated with our adopted, overseas family.
I really like the list that Velvet Ashes made of ways to flourish during this unprecedented time:
-Gather together (virtually)
-Do something productive
-Eat really good food
-Be together
-Maintain traditions and customs that are meaningful to you
-Find beauty
-Feel free to cry
-Share good news with people you love
