God: It has been a very busy week this week!! Mat and I have both been working a lot of overtime, working out at the gym, and attempting to keep a clean apartment! By the grace of God, He has given me the strength to work extra and keep a bright smile on my face :) Mat has also received a lot of really great compliments at work and I am very proud of him for working so hard. God has also blessed us so much in so many areas of our life...we are doing "much better than we deserve" - I hear that a lot from Christians "How are you today? - Better than I deserve!" It's very humbling to hear that and recognize that we are all dealt different cards but the way we choose to make our lemonade shapes our lives...We are all sinners and we are no where near perfect, yet God still blesses us here on this earth and meets our needs :)
Food: Mat and I are picking up our organic co-op tomorrow and I am really excited. I'm starving for some fruit and vegetables...we always seem to run out of everything (but lettuce) by the end of the week. This stuff lasts soooo long too - we've had some kale in the fridge for over two weeks and it still looks great!
Love: Loving my enemy...so much harder than people realize. I find myself thinking of the people in my life that I strongly do not agree with and wonder how I can do a better job of loving them. Any tips??
"Family" - Special shout-out to my dad today, he is 50 years old today!! Happy 50th Birthday dad, we love you!!!
Already out of strawberries?!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have to love your enemy just like you have to love thy neighbor. And if its a rainy, cloudy day, do you love that day and thank God for letting you wake up and can you see the beauty in it, or do you mope around saying why can't it be sunny instead?
Nooo! we have two bags of strawberries in the freezer still, we are running out of our other fruit and veggies! I will post pictures from our organic co-op this week!
