Recovery Time

Jon started his day going out to Brad's to grind dyes and such thinking he would also be helping with harvest till late. Instead, he was able to come home around 3:30. We went out for an early supper, stopped by to check on my mom, and now he's asleep in his chair. It finally hit him when we were at supper, and I thought I would have to carry him out to the van. He is tired. Logan is curled up on the floor next to his chair looking like she's the one who put in almost a week of 16 hour days.

Tomorrow he should be able to relax most of the day so he's ready to start again on Monday. What are all of you doing this weekend? I hope you are able to reflect, worship, and be thankful even though Thanksgiving is a ways away yet.

Thought for the day

How are you doing with the approaching holidays? I'm excited that we will all be able to be together for a little while, but I can't get into the preparations too much yet. I have done only a VERY little bit of shopping and we'll be keeping it pretty simple this year. Like we keep trying to remember...it's not our birthdays, it's Jesus's birthday and He doesn't need too much that we can buy in a store.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 He will walk us through this hectic time and keep our focus clear as we acknowlege and trust Him in every way.

You're right Kelli, even Superman gets tired. I may have a new title now though... Tru thinks I'm a Rescue Hero now that he knows I help out those without electricity!

Can't wait til you're all here for Christmas...

Dad
