Good Habits

Wow...Monday night TV is just fun. I talked to Megan earlier, and they are safely back in their new digs and happy to be together. They were going out to eat with college friends...how fun! There was good news for Emmy today...she does have an ear infection and they're treating both ears, but the doctor doesn't want to consider surgery to close the large holes in her ear drums till she's 8. He has seen them heal up on their own given enough time, so that's what we're praying for!! Also, their piano was delivered today...looks very nice and it seems that they got a really good deal. Bria will start lessons tomorrow morning...no wasting time! Plans are being made for Tru's 5th birthday party Saturday night...looking forward to it!

Thought for the day

I'm trying to get up earlier in the morning and get that extra time and space that I need. Still, I sometimes catch myself dozing off while I'm reading which seems to defeat the purpose, but I'll keep plodding on. They say it takes about 3 weeks to form a habit...I think I'm a slow learner!! It is the thing I want to do most...spending some quality time in the morning reading and praying, yet one of the hardest things to do well. I'm sure the reason it's hard is because it's the last thing the enemy wants me to do well. Well, I will persevere and the Lord sees my heart more than my performance.

Making Birthday Plans

My sister and I are planning a supper out for my mom...she turns 90 on Saturday. Those that can make it will go out for supper then back to her house for birthday cake. Hopefully she's getting a lot of cards this week for her "card shower". I hope it's special for her. She said to me not too long ago when we were out for lunch, "You know, I never thought I would be this old." Just made me laugh.

Thought for the day

I've been thinking about the "ripples" (see yesterday). I sure hope I leave some ripples for my family out into the future. I don't know what they would look like, but I hope that I will leave a legacy or heritage that will lead others in my family out into the future to Christ. I hope it will also be filled with laughter and a certain freshness that bucks the "religious" establishment. I don't think it's anything I can plan or deliberately "do". I just want to help them know something fresh and real in their faith.
