Happy Sunday!!! This is the day that the Lord has made. My mind has been filled with Bible verses today. Yesterday was my Fathers birthday. I am so grateful for my dad. He has been a wonderful daddy and a good example. Growing up I can always remember his joyful attitude in the morning. He would be humming songs or singing songs as he would shave and off to work he would go. I can't remember him ever speaking negative or critical to us children or my mom. I basically grew up in an Ossie and Harriet home and I am very, very thankful to God and my parents for that. Learning to hold my own tongue is not as easy. I have had a hard time not wanting to let my husband know if there was something I disagreed with or areas I felt he needs to improve. God is gracious and is continually helping me to grow. I have seen how "big" things at one moment are and then are so insignificant in the next moment. I am grateful to my parents for their example. It was 23 years ago on my dad birthday that I started dating my now husband. I can hardly believe it.
Yesterday was such a productive day. I was able to get vacuuming, laundry, ironing, and sewing caught up and even wash a few blinds. Then we had time for a walk and games. My last couple weeks things just haven't been getting done. That can overwhelm me. A couple great verses have been "the joy of the Lord is my Strength," and "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." I have to remind myself when everything is stacking up that God is my joy and strength and He cares about the things I care about and those things that are stacking up will get done as he provides me with the time and energy I need. I know they need to get done and have such a feeling of satisfaction when they get done. Thank you God for productive days. I love a clean home and we try our best to keep it pick up and clean. But it is rewarding to be able to get a couple other projects done. The joy of the Lord is my strength. Well God bless you all and off to church we go.
