I hope you have too! This Sunday has been wonderful--finally! The worship was beautiful and so filled with the sweet spirit of our LORD. I was totally ready for communion today after the formal singing part of worship was over. Our pastor is starting a new series on the book of Ecclesiates. He was laying the groundwork this morning, and if this was the groundwork--I must say--I can't wait for the meat of the book! I have been so blah about my church that I almost didn't go this morning, but I got up and off I went. I am really glad I did! Sometimes, the LORD accomplishes His will through routine. I am so used to getting up on Sundays and going to church and that was exactly what I did today. I didn't even think until later that I talked about not going to my husband just last night. Funny, isn't it. We went out to lunch with Marianne (CHG) and her family after church. What a sweet time we had. The children were even well behaved! I guess today was just wrapped up as a gift for little ol' me! When we came home-stuffed-I myself was ready for nap. But, Zoe, Marianne's youngest came for a playdate with Seth. They played and played. Then before I knew it Kate, Zoe's sister, and their friend Ally came over. The fun really started then!! They played, and I cat napped on the couch with the children coming in and out....Donnie, also kept an eye on them. Seth had a great time playing and going on a bicycle ride with his friends and Zoe's dad. He also had a great day of rest and fun. Now, I did get my schooling week planned; this week's menu planned; a grocery list made; Seth's birthday party planned (CHG's, I will be calling you tomorrow!); and my chore list for the week planned. Hopefully, all will go well. Everything is written in pencil though, just in case God has other plans for me and my family! I want to thank everyone who commented on my last blog posting. I am so glad that I do have some kindred spirits out in the blogging world. I must say that it is going to be an interesting election. I am just convicted that a woman's place is in the home-a helpmeet to her husband-a mother to her children-a keeper of the home. I know that God had Deborah as a judge of Israel, and He used Esther for such a time as this--but on the whole of scripture--I truly cannot see how I can vote just party lines. My--my--I am in a quandry. (But, I do believe God will put into office whom He wishes to put into office. I will vote my convictions, and I believe that God will be glorified.) Like I said--it is going to be interesting for next few months and four years to come. So, this has been a blessed LORD's Day. Thank you Father in Heaven
