Well yesterday (Tuesday) went pretty well. The kids behaved/pitched in and we are all doing good at keeping the house picked up & everyone seems to be cleaning up after themselves! Baby steps but it seems like LEAPS! Yay!
We had family dinner last night, and prayed about the events that happened at Danielle's school (it was broken into and all the jogathon money as well as the church offerings from the weekend were stolen). It's hard on children who work so hard to raise money to have it stolen. We talked alot about it and asked that God change the hearts of the very bad people who did this.
DeRell and I managed to get the bathroom Primer up last night for the main bath after the kids went to bed. SO it was a late night, and we slept in late in the morning bcuz of it! Wednesday's chore is to buy the paint for the ceiling/trim as well as the new paint color. I am hoping to have it all painted while the kids are at Awana's tonite.
No bible study for me bcuz of the viewing for Nelda. As many know she passed extremely fast from her Cancer that she just found out about at the begininning of this month. My view is that she was such a loving and humble servant that God spared her the agony and brought her home quickly. She was loved by so many in the entire community-i don't think there is even one church that didn't know who she was and had her in their prayers! She served out her days as a missionary for the Lord - teaching so many and sharing God's love at so many churches and events. She will be truly missed on Earth, but is now in the place we all long to be. I have such a different mindset than so many others i know who dwell in sadness when someone dies. I can't help but smile at the blessing of the believers who pass on... the ones that are singing with the angels and in the presence of our Creator. When we know this as Truth, how can we be sad?? Someday it will be me, or a family member and I just want everyone to have peace. Peace that we are finally HOME when we leave this Earth. Don't cry. SMILE.
