Time flies

How time flies. The last week went so quickly although time is hard to judge when you are medicated and sick. I do believe that I am doing better and finally on the road to recovery. Yesterday was such a beautiful day. Annie went riding for an hour and I watched her as she was not in a fenced in area. She did great and I got sunburned! WE are trying to decide about a new horse we have been offered. Hard decision as we would like her, but just do not have a complete peace yet. It truly was sad to watch the news about the VT killings. It is also a reminder that many places in the world are daily killing zones and we are blessed to not have that in our lives, at least for now. It was also a great time of talking to our children about the Sovereignty of God and His protection. The girls had many questions, some we can't completely answer. We went to see the movie Meet The Robinsons. We rarely go to see movies and I am more than a little disillusioned by Disney, but, this movie was very touching. It brought up adoption, self worth, how to treat others and the impact our actions can have on others. It brought up forgetting the past, and not being a "victim" of life's circumstances. Now, I may watch it a second time at home and see things a little differently, but we all left the theater feeling good about it and had some wonderful discussion from it all the way home. It also showed a family that was very different as in personalities and quirks, but they all lived together in love. It was very sweet. I was afraid it would be unsound according to scripture, but it did not have anything politically correct (brain-washing) that I could see. It is a rainy day. I wanted to do all of Rick and my laundry and hang it out on the line but I will resort to the dryer as I need to get it done today. We will do school and clean up from the weekend. I have book-work to do and I am actually selling some books on Amazon and I need to get them mailed out. I am pleasantly surprised with this little business and it is making my husband happy to see some of these books heading off of our shelves, piles, boxes and out the door! It is also good for me to evaluate the books I have and to be more selective of what I am keeping. I had 25 books to put for sale and yet I put only 12 up as I am struggling to give up some of them, and I cannot say why! Unhealthy emotional attachments to books, that is my problem. We have hundreds, and outside of the hundreds used for school literature, I have got to send some away! I keep reassuring myself that they will bless someone, somewhere. Have a great day, watch for God's blessing today in your life, than write them down and tell them to your children, proclaim His goodness aloud as the Psalmist says. |
