Heavenly Father, teach me to number my days that I may gain a Heart
of Wisdom and fulfill your purpose for my life today.

Friday, April 3, 2015

Good GOOD FRIDAY morning.Up late - did not set the alarm and was lying there wondering why I was so restless and looked at the clock and it was 6:30 - should have been up an hour ago!  It is a beautiful morning.  Absolutely perfect - well almost!

I am back after a week of mornings with the little boys.  They are leaving this morning and we will not see them until June - maybe a quick trip up in May to see Dakota's 'K-graduation!'  We did not get to do all the things I wanted to do with them, but we will have them for a week to ourselves some time in June while Kelli goes with Jeff on one of his trips to CA.

Day 1789 - Living "My Next Thirty Years" one day at a time.  Today, I will remember that change is more and attitude than an action.  That 'things' change when I change!  I know that I keep repeating this - and a lot of other thoughts, but that is because I 'still' need to remember them!  I am a slow learner and a slower doer.

Today is MMM and no work.  I have determined not to stress my arm/shoulder at all today.  No pulling, pushing, lifting - maybe a day of rest will help - I am so weary of the pain and discomfort I have been experiencing for the past 5 weeks.  Hair cut this morning - need to look neat for Good Friday and Easter Sunday services.  Good Friday Service this evening.  Kathy called last night and said that Reggi would be in the service tonight.  Reggie is the Pastor-in-training at the Dugae church in Haiti.  We have known and seen him grow up in the Lord for the past five year that we have been going to Haiti!

Yesterday was a good day.  Said good-bye to the boys yesterday morning.  They stayed at Kari's last night and left for GA this morning.  Went to the gym and worked out a little.  I could not do much but could tell that I had not been there for a while.

Tomorrow I have to work - my Saturday to work.  Have today off (a holiday for the store - no pay for the PT people though).  I know that that is not going to change, but neither is my complaining about it!  They have a right to make policy, and I have a right to complain about it - and I will!!!

MY RUDDER AND ANCHOR!

Psalm 14:

Proverbs 3:

The Word Alive in 1 - 5  (Reading I Samuel 8 - 11)

MMM - just some thoughts:  (1)  Service lead to a useful and happy life.  (2) The beginning and end of our real worth...is to serve others. (3) Each day is a day of progress - but when I stumble, may I stumble forward!

"What are we here for?  To know God!"
