A thought to ponder

The other day I was feeling sort of discouraged, my flesh was saying that I wasn't getting enough encouragement, that I wasn't getting praised enough, and that I was doing everything wrong, and couldn't get anything right.  I sort of even took that out on my sister, getting frustrated @ her when she did just about any thing wrong.  I now realize that was wrong and I wasn't focusing on the one true thing that really mattered, and I believe God showed that to me in this little saying I found as I went through my notes from church.  Rich said this on Fathers day @ the end in his application time.  He said, "Are you (am I) more aware of where you've (I've) failed, or of how much you've (I've) been forgiven?"  This thought struck me deeply, and I think whenever we're having a pity party, not getting our way, having a "bad day" and you're taking your anger or frustrations out on everybody else.  Your thoughts need to come back to, how much importance am I placing on this issue (you fill in the blank) with how much I should be (many times am not) focusing on how much I've been forgiven?  So after you read this, don't just say, oh that was a nice blog, no.  Put this into action and bring your thoughts back to the One who saved you from eternal punishment.

just sitting & watching a cute lil' boy

So here again I find myself in the delightful position of sitting here, while watching a pretty darn cute little boy!! He's SUPER sweet & super cute, and his little sis just went down 4 a nap.  And lately his mom has been faced with a serious problem!! The poop in the toilet stage!!!!  Even though she'll miss these days when he's married, sometimes it feels like her life is coming 2 an end.  Keep up the great work guys!!  I'll b prayin' 4 yu on those, "not so fun" days :-)

I love u R. fam. (lil' sis does too, of course :-)

At the R's

hey y'all.  s'up?  nothing much here, we're just babysitting D, and B.  They are absolutely adorable.  Mommy of D and B is trying to potty train D to go on the toilet.  Anyways, he has to sit until he goes "poopey".  kinda gross but that's okay.  hold on, he needs siccors.  Now he wants to play cards with me so this might take a minute.  hold on . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I have absolutely NO IDEA what we are playing, but that's okay.  he's still ADORABLE.  he's giving me all the kings queens and jacks, somehow he thinks they're the same.
