For What It Is Worth.
Lance and family are going to be here tomorrow, so the old
woman got busy this morning and went through with the vacuum and mop. Not that
it makes all that much difference by the time she went outside with the dogs
and tracked back inside. Oh well. Life goes on and dirt happens.
Made a cheesecake to go with the blueberries in the fridge.
Then sat down and could not remember putting in the sweetner. Argh! This is
like Jennifer having to make two recipes of butter rolls because she forgot the
sugar in the first batch! See, we are related! Maybe it will be good with the
fresh blueberries!
Can’t decide if chicken tenders from Chicken Express would
be better than a couple of cooked chickens from United, but will make up my
mind later. Chicken Express has fried okra and good gravy!
Did something really stupid with my sewing machine, so
Sterling told me to get out the WD-40 and some Q-tips to clean up the bobbin
and other areas. One should never sew over an area of glue! Duh. Silly ol’
woman!
This little heater bought online does not exactly heat up
the room, but it is not cold in here, either. Not sure if it is supposed to actually
warm the room or just keep the chill off. It would not do to warm up the
bathroom, however. It is small and puts out a small amount of heat. Guess it
will do for this office.
Reading through the book of John, it makes me smile and
shake my head sometimes at what even a blind man was able to say to the Jews
and Pharisees. And when they had put the formerly blind man from the synagogue,
Christ came and found him and asked him if he believed. The man worshipped
Christ right then and there. It sounds so easy when it is written down in such
short terms, but this man had no other to convince him. His lack of sight and
then being given sight was enough to tell him that this man was, indeed, the
Christ. We are so blessed to have this book, this Bible, to show us what kind
of man Christ was while he walked among those who did not know or want to know
him. For most of us, our parents and grandparents taught us as much as they
knew about Christ. It has not depended on some great revelation or some
experience that shook us to the core. Every morning our eyes are opened to this
world and a new day. Rest comes easily for us because we know that, should it
be our last sleep, we will open our eyes in His kingdom. How could we not have
faith? Do our children have this assurance? Let us remind them as we are able.
No one will throw us from a synagogue or from the church doorsteps. We have His
promises. Praise God!
Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
