Today has been a repeat of yesterday – cold, rainy, cloudy. A good day to be inside and eat soup! Last night I did get the potato soup made, and I’m planning on having that for supper in a bit.

Autmn just txt me and asked me what songs I sing to Cameron. I gave her a list, and she said he likes Mockingbird Hill. I didn’t ask if she’s singing to him or if she found them on YouTube! He also likes Mairzy Doats. I looked that one up and The Three Stooges sing it!

Sunday School was a little wild. Max’s cousins were in for the weekend, and they can get loud and wild! They did listen very well to the lesson and also did their crafts. We finished up the Noah lessons and Mary had them make rain hats. Not sure how I managed, but they all lined up and I took their pictures with their ‘rain’ hats! Jackson put a huge floor puzzle together in good time and was very proud of himself!

Max, Jack, Josie, Jackson, Cody. You can see the ‘raindrops’ on Josie, Jackson, and Cody’s hats. Max and Jack didn’t want them…

Jackson loves puzzles, and is very good at them.

Todd’s message this morning was the third in a series on Anxiety. They have really been helping me focus on things that I get unnecessarily stressed over. Here are some key points: Comparison drives anxiety (social media); all is not as it appears. Anxiety goes down as thanksgiving goes up. We should celebrate who God is, and ask for help. Focus on what you have, not what you don’t have. It changes your perspective. GRACE is something you receive. JOY is what you experience. GRATITUDE is what we give back. Here is the key thought.

About 3pm I drove down to Norwin (I’m spending a lot of time going to Norwin!). Kelly was looking for something specific from the Dollar Tree that her stores didn’t carry. So I checked the two in Norwin – they had half of what she needed. But I was picking Teresa up from her long weekend in Virginia so I was already down there. She had a great time and had great weather (unlike us!). She brought me back a shadow box of Christ Church where General (President) Washington attend when we was in town. What a lovely gift!
