praise: kids seem to be feeling better. landon hasn't been hit with the virus yet-maybe the tonsil thing is doing what the doctor said it would!!!!
prayer: please pray that we do not have a year like last year as far as health goes.
playfulness: tonight is all about landon. he had his moments of meeting uncle rod, but he also had good moments. last week in ss-he colored a paper about helping. one of the pictures was a little boy setting the table. while i was making supper, landon brought out his paper and asked "can i do the napkins like the boy in this picture?" i told him "no." (NOT!!!!-why would i turn down help!?!) he is now my official table setter.
also tonight, we were working on his wednesday night Bible verse (John 3:16). he learned it in about 10 minutes-i was very impressed. he even called papa to tell him. anyway-the funny associated with this accomplishment- he said "gave his only rotten son..." that was corrected! =)
ponderings: okay, so i know i've left this section out quite a bit. shows how deep my mental capacity is!!!! =) anyway, i've been doing the Bible study that the ladies at our church did during the summer. it's taking me a lot longer to get through it-not uncommon that i get interrupted by children waking up early from their naps. man-talk about getting hit with how selfish i am. one of the first things that hit me was-how can i be teaching my children to obey-if i'm not even obeying and having my "Bible time". i'm not obeying-how can i expect them to? it's just been one thing after another. i'm thankful for the reminders/rebukes, but it's painful. i'm not sure where i'm even going with this (it is only 1am). i guess-i'm realizing how much i expect others to act in a disciplined manner, and then i don't do so in my own life-whether it be devotions, household responsibilities, weight control, relationships, etc. how are you doing? who's controlling your life-you with God's help? or you and your desires? i know what has been controlling mine, and i'm not proud of it. with God's help, things are going to change.
have a good night-or good morning would be more appropriate!
