Memorial Day Weekend

Jon is taking some extra days off over this Memorial Day weekend, and I'm taking off Tuesday as well. So far this weekend I worked on Saturday morning, we worked at my mom's house Saturday afternoon, and we kept Tre and Tru overnight Saturday night. Tabbi came over today for church then they all went home later this afternoon. I've done some cleaning, laundry, and saw my mom for a little while. Tomorrow we'll take off as soon as Jon as willing to go to see Greg, Megan, and Oz for a while then head over to see Jon, Kelli, Bria, and Emmy overnight. We'll spend Tuesday there so we can go to Bria's softball game in the afternoon and head home that night. Busy, busy, busy!!! Jon's working away in the garage tonight.

Thought for the day

I'm still wrestling with health and wholeness issues. My acid reflux is gone entirely, and I'm doing just fine without any Singulair. I need some blood work anyway, so I'll get my blood pressure and thyroid checked as well. However, I'm still not sure how I'm going to get along without an nsaid. One day well, next day not, next day in between. Lord, teach me. Help my unbelief. I trust You.

WOW!!

Okay, I have to give credit where credit's due. The addition to my header was from a Veggie Takes DVD we watched this weekend..."with great chocolate comes great responsibility". Just made me laugh, but the DVD had a good lesson about temptation. I think it was called "Larry and the Bad Apple". We had SO MUCH fun this weekend. Tabbi and the boys and Kelli and the girls all arrived around noon on Saturday. We went out to the lake for a couple of hours, then came home and put a pork loin on the grill. We got to visit with some of our closest friends visiting in town for a while. Jon (son-in-law) spent his daytimes helping his parents with a project and his evenings here. On Sunday Megan and Greg came till Monday morning. We went to the new Night at the Museum movie in the afternoon---VERY FUN!! The kids played at dream playground for a little while. Jon and Kelli went out for their anniversary. Trever came and made us all fried mushrooms to go with supper---YUM!!! Then Tabbi and Trever took all four on the kids to their house for a sleepover. Everyone slept a little later this morning, then Tabbi came back with the kids. Greg and Megan took off late morning, and both girls and their kids left mid-afternoon. We went for a motorcycle ride this evening and stopped at Tabbi and Trever's to give the boys rides. WHEW!!!!! It was AWESOME, and we are TIRED!!

Thought for the day

Back to temptation...the DVD made the point that there are many things that aren't wrong, but can become traps and entangle us. I'm pretty sure that's a universal issue for each of us...I know it is for me. It may be a hobby that takes over our lives, food or substance of other kinds, needing others' approval...any one thing can become a prison that will not let us go. We must be on guard and ready to flee temptation of any kind that may become a snare.
