I teach the Junior SS class at church and today the lesson was about doing good,
(Jesus healing) and the Pharisees who chose to overlook the good he was doing and decided to pick him to bits and plot to kill. This little poem was in the teacher helps and i thot it really good!
"Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can" -John Wesley
Doing good. . . . Something so simple that a child can do and it can speak to the hardest heart and change a life! Jesus was such a good example of unselfish "do-gooder".
This is what my week looks like:
Norv left after church to go to a log home show for Caribou till Wednesday when he flies in to Spokane. I may need to run and pick him up unless a vehicle is over there at the airport to bring back for somebody. He is driving straight thru to Nevada with David, should be there by noon monday i think. They took all their displays with them so they can show potenial customers what the handcrafted house looks like.
So we hold down the fort while he is gone and pray nothing drastic happens! Ellie misses her "daddy boy" when he leaves. She snuggles up beside me in bed ,she's a spoiled one!
MONDAY,Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday: gotta work at the store.
Emma is sick and can't tomorrow so its me and a new employee that gets trained in . Shilah and Kendra work in the deli the rest of the week . . . We have had our share of being shuffled around with employees sick and us being gone over Christmas ,then one in Bible school, Emma going on vacation, another girl quitting, one going to Chile , can't wait to get back to normal! If i ever seem scatterbrained i have a very good reason why!
Thursday and Friday are my "days off" this week from the store. . I want/need to sew for these growing girls, i cant keep up! Every time i turn around they have grown some more or worse,ripped a dress and i dont like to mend! Id rather sew a whole new dress that patch. . .
I need to run to Sandpoint to pick up the new glasses for Ellie and Kaitlyn , hopefully they help Ellies eyes. They are getting so cross eyed, why does it show up all of a sudden like that?
She gets to see her beloved cousins ,Olivia and Jemima, at grandma's house tomorrow! I think its been before Christmas since she has seen em last,with all the flu bugs flying around here!
Two years ago we were getting ready to fly to Chile for 10 days to visit friends. . . Oh i wish i could be planning that again! Beautiful country. . . Maybe someday! adios my friends, have a good week! Don't forget to do some kind deed to your fellow man. . .
