I've dilly-dallied around this morning and am just now getting to putting something in here - and I have about 20 minutes. What can I do in twenty minutes? Well - let's just see!
Hubby has left for his Bible study this morning with his friends. He will be gone a few hours. I love this time in the morning, as you know. Of course I still have to work - but love just being alone and I can talk out loud if I want, I can go grab a couple weights and do a set or two. I can do anything I want. Oh, and I can work too. Yeah. He says he will come home, and change clothes and go back to the gym. Yeah, we'll see. I told him to take his clothes with him and change there, but he didn't want to. His choice. Extra driving. I'm staying out of it.
I think I'm about ready for Sunday's message. I am speaking at the RV park here in town and I'm talking about our outlook - for last year, for this year - and how do we look at ourselves. Sometimes we don't like people because of their behavior, or because of something they said.... but until we know WHY they behaved that way, or said what they did, who are we to form an opinion about them at all? I mean, if you have someone who snaps at you, rather than getting angry at them and (I know, I need to hear my own words!) and perhaps retorting back..... stop and think about what could have triggered that. The other day hubby came in out of the blue and snapped at me about something. I don't even remember what it was now. But I looked at him and told him there was no reason to speak to me in that tone of voice. He paused, and said what he said before, but in a nicer tone. And then later, he came back and apologized for snapping the way he did - and explained that he had been frustrated about something - that had nothing to do with me in the first place!
Today is Friday and although it has been a short week (4-day) as far as work, I'm glad it is nearly over for I have been kept busy most of the time. In fact, last night I remembered a meeting I was supposed to schedule - and I think I forgot it. I'll check first thing to see if I did schedule the meeting.... but had so many meetings to create, I think I forgot that one. Oh well. Will do it this morning. Glad this week is nearly over.
Tomorrow is Needles of Hope when my friends and I meet to crochet or knit for a few hours. We didn't meet last month so it's been two months since I've seen some of them. Looking forward to time away in a different location to catch up with friends and relax and crochet. I finished up two projects last night - a baby blanket and an afghan. I donate the blanket; the afghan goes up in the closet for whenever I need a gift for someone. Maybe. I don't put much value on what I make as I don't think I'm that good at it, but I do like to have something on hand if I need to give someone a gift.
Want to finish getting our Christmas things put away this weekend too. And our fast begins on Sunday. Hubby has already said that he is not going to start until after Monday's football game. Or is it Sunday's. Afterall, giving up TV is a big decision for him. I'm personally excited. LOL
Romans 8:28 (NKJV): "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
That is the scripture that came to mind as I paused to think what to put next. Is hubby giving up his TV watching for MY good? Yep. Now it isn't that I'm so against the TV, I'm not. I just enjoy the quiet evening as I am on the computer all day. Last night hubby watched the news and then asked - 'do you want to watch a movie?' and I said 'no'. I heard him make a noise.... and turned off the TV. And I got to finish a book, and complete two crochet projects. A win-win for me, right? It didn't hurt him a bit and he actually did pick up a book and read a little in it as well, instead of 'reading' his phone all evening and listening to all that garbage.
Uh oh - five minutes - gotta jump off and get the computer up and running. I told you this may be short! Hope you have a good day!
Blessings!
