We are going to wrap up October&#8217;s topic of finance over dinner, wine and dessert. I am looking forward not only to sharing a meal with friends, but also to hearing what everyone else has to say about their books. (We meet every first and third Monday to discuss our topic of the month.)<\/p>\n<p>Tonight I will also announce the new topic, which will be <strong>service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you are up for joining in the fun (and learning) this month, please select any book on service and read along with us. I wish I could have all of you over for dinner, but since that is not possible, the blog will have to do.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any books to suggest, please leave a comment today.<\/p>\n<p>Next Tuesday we&#8217;ll share our titles and then by the last Tuesday of the month, November 25 (if you are a blogger) please write a post about your book. That Tuesday you&#8217;ll have the opportunity to link back to your post on your book from here.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not a blogger, please feel free to participate and leave your observations in the comments. I certainly don&#8217;t want anyone to be left out!<\/p>\n<p>But back to the topic at hand: Please select any book on any aspect of service. It could\u00a0be a book on serving your family, serving the Lord, serving your country, serving the needy, serving internationally, serving your husband, serving guests in your home&#8230; whatever you would like to learn about right now.<\/p>\n<p>You could also read about someone else&#8217;s service or an organization&#8217;s service to a group or individual.<\/p>\n<p>Last night I came across a book on serving your family that I think I would like to read. I think I could use a little direction in that right now. And I&#8217;m open to receiving it. I&#8217;ll keep you posted on my decision, soon, though.<\/p>\n<p>Okay&#8230; so read any good books on serving lately? Or did you come across any recently that caught your eye? Fill us in on the goodies!<\/p>\n<p>And then make your choice and read away.<\/p>\n<p>Gotta go light the candles! 15 minutes until my guests arrive&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/momflower.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-207\" title=\"momflower\" src=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/momflower.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My discussion group friends should be in here an about a half an hour.
