It's been a lovely weekend , had unexpected friends for lunch today and we had off work @ the store yesterday! Not to say we didn't work tho', seems there is never a time we are caught up in that ! I tell my girls to get used to it, and learn to enjoy it because they'll be doing this (some form ) the rest of their life ! They don't like hearing it :). I want to die with my work boots on if the Lord let's me ! I try to look @ the blessings in work even when I'm over my head in it !
It's easier to write this than actually feel this way all the time, ya know ! .......
Can u believe this summer is almost gone ! I was just planting my corn yesterday and now its ready to be chopped off ! And I didn't get my late crop of spinach,lettuce and other cool crops planted yet and I'm sure I'm too late now ! I feel sometimes with the life I have that I am always missing things, not getting stuff done that I want too ! I know my motto is ...one day @ a time ...its just hard to remember that when I get behind in my projects,sewing,canning, laundry etc.
Kids are back in school and its going good for the most part! Norv is on the schoolboard, so he's got meeting w/teachers and making sure everything is running smoothly for everybody! I'm on for hotlunch this week with three others, big job to fix food for 80 people !
We've had such good sermons in church lately, good practical ones on music, and passing on your heritage and today about what you think about God is who you are as a person...still pondering that one ! How do I describe God to some one who wants to know "my religion", loving ,compassionate, or some one who is waiting to pounce on me when I mess up ? In Proverbs, in the women's ss class ,we heard lots of good practical advice about living and the consequences of sin...people may put up a nice smiling front, but look @ the eyes and see the pain in so many faces....they try to deny and hide the pain...am I taking the time to smile and hug and give an encouraging word or do I rush past and say a quick "hi" and that's it ? I think about this esp. @ the store, I am in the back a lot with Ellie and am doing orders and stuff and the times I do talk to people its just surface stuff mostly, but I see so many people with pains of the past..and baggage from second marriages,etc. I can't imagine living a life like that without God ! My thot' s are rather jumbled...
Hope you have a good week, I smell popcorn! I'd better run if I want some !
- September 11: 12 years ago 2 brothers died in a plane crash, 10 years ago , the tragedy @ the world trade center ...so many good things have come from both, but the pain still lingers for many people. I am so thankful for a God who is up in heaven caring for our loved ones. What a future !
