It was fun waking up to sunlight! Usually I enjoy hitting the snooze once but I didn’t need to do that today. But it’s still a little chilly. It is, after all, November!
November is our month to not teach Sunday school. So I again went to my own class. Since today was National Give Someone a Dollar Day I found Max and JJ after church and explained the ‘national’ holiday to them and gave them each a dollar. They were both excited. Those boys have done so many nice things for me (and Mary) over these last few years it was fun to do something back. They are young enough to appreciate a dollar bill!
Todd’s message was ‘Less is More’ and about having too much stuff. Reminded me of the Veggie Tales DVD about Madam Blueberry going to Stuffmart and she had so much stuff her tree house fell right out of the tree onto the ground! And like Madam Blueberry stuff doesn’t really make us happy. We shouldn’t put ourselves first (selfish). We need to lose ourselves to God (selfless). ‘Throw off everything that hinders…’
I went outside after lunch and did a few very small things. I needed to empty the lint in the outside dryer vent, hose out a storage bin, bring the Halloween projector and extension cord inside, and switch the Thanksgiving flag for the Fall one. I wasn’t out long but was glad to feel the sun — the air was really brisk!
I’m hoping to work a little on ironing the linens and my own laundry from Friday. The linens alone will probably take well over an hour…
Autmn, Noah and Cameron stopped quickly to give me the the baby Ruth candy bar that they saved for me from Cameron’s Trick or Treat. They were on their way to Noah’s family – they had an uncle from out of town visiting – and popped in here. Got to see my baby!
My blessing today was actually GIVING! To JJ and Max…
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW November 4th is:
Color the World Orange Day; Job Action Day; National Candy Day; National Chicken Lady Day; National Day of Community Service; National Devotions Day; National Easy-Bake Oven Day; Roast Dinner Day; Use your Common Sense Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Fig day. Tomorrow: Celebrate candy; what better thing! Probably good to hang on to common sense, as well. God bless…
