This will be a week of change. I will change my routine, change my schedule, change my meals. And it will be a fun relief! I did have to work this morning, then came home and we all had lunch together. Kelly and I went shopping for a few missing necessities (food-related) that the boys and she were craving, along with paper plates to reduce the workload! We did laundry and supper and I listened to Bram and Steve. Kelly was making cute little hats to wear to keep her short-haired head warm, Logan was watching his favorite YouTube video-ers, and Chrissy and Chase were playing Minecraft. So everyone was settled in. And I’m typing.
Got a very welcome and fun card in the mail today from Ron in Florida. That’s just a little too far away for comfort…. Miss you!
Bram’s message was entitled WHATEVER. He was talking about being thankful, as it’s more than one day or a feeling. It’s a way of life. It’s not what you get that determines our quality of life; it’s how you interpret what you get. Thanksgiving encompasses our whole life. How does our relationship with Jesus reflect what we choose to do, say, or watch on television? Always remember the goodness of God and be thankful. And the WHATEVER? Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
On this day in 1921 US President Warren G. Harding signed Willis Campell Act (anti-beer bill) forbidding doctors prescribing beer or liquor for medicinal purposes. In 1923 Cecil B. DeMille‘s first version of “The Ten Commandments” premiered in the USA. In 1963 LBJ proclaimed Nov 25 a day of national mourning (for JFK). In 2018 Justin Bieber married Hailey Baldwin. In 1804 Franklin Pierce – 14th President – was born; Billy the Kid (American outlaw) was born in 1859; Boris Karloff in 1887, and Miley Cyrus in 1992. And joining them today is my friend from high school, Debby Yanosko Gretz. From performing a routine to LEMMON TREE in gym class in 9th grade (or thereabouts) to high school reunions to Concerts in the Park at St. Clair Park, Debby has been a friend. Have a great day, Debby, and a wonderful year!
TOMORROW November 24th:
Have a terrific Tuesday – I’m staying at home with my family and enjoying a mini vacation! Tomorrow’s tasks are making Hershey Kiss pretzels with M&Ms, and maybe having Logan help put up the Christmas deer. Enjoy your day! God bless…
