Saturday in the life...


A good morning starts sleeping in :)
A game or two of "guess who" is the next thing and it came with an opportunity for lesson. Dash found the temptation too great and peaked (cheated) at the game. It was opportunity to tell him about what Jesus prayed at the last supper...about us resisting temptation.
I asked him how he felt when he "won" the game. He said not so good..."I'm sorry Mom"...
Then he went and raised the score and gave me credit for two games I did not win... I thanked him but told him "no thank you, because I really did not win them." I declined another game with him at that time but thanked him for owning his error.
He was humbled and thoughtful. I am working hard and teaching them not to bring temptation to another as well. I think this vital in a sound life.

We moved Dove into Dashes room so I can pack hers. She has a real phobia about closed doors (Willy goes in and jumps on the beds to sleep) so Daddy man spoke at length with her. Dash is so allergic we have to keep the dog off his bed. Neither Daddy Man or I allow animal in beds anyway.

So in order to keep Willy out they devised this alarm system last night,
This was in the doorway.. too cute!
We went to the Costco store to get fruit for the marrow and to get a few supplies. The Mr and Dove had pizza and Dash and I had sushi.

At 4:30 the living room is like this, better and better each day...

I have boxed a lot of the toys so far.

Mr Uncommon got the laundry room painted and we just have the trim to do.
I finished the laundry (well to a point anyway).

My eggs are boiled so we can color them soon.

I was able to get my Easter table set for the folks tomorrow. Mr Uncommon's parents will join us in the afternoon. We have a morning brunch at the Friends home. It will be such a joy to have other children for the kids to do an egg hunt with.

Doves room will be one of the last big jobs indoors to do.
Then the garage needs to be packed and the yard sale.
The floors and the entire house will need a good deep cleaning and we are on the market!
Our front door will need to be sanded and varnished and the back door frame.
We are almost set to go on the market!
I am hoping to attend service in the morning and just worship for a while with others.

I love you sweet one.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
