I do hope the family gathering went well...it would be nice to hear from you on that as I do hope that you can heal your other family relationships soon...I think since these were the latest they are probably easiest to reconcile...and helps you on the path to your H...each healing is another step forward and you have taken many...your first was coming here and asking...no begging to find answers that would keep you in your marriage...
I have another busy (and hot) week ahead...This past weekend on my "time off" I had to bake two pies on Saturday because I was on TV yesterday morning for my prize winning pie recipe at our county fair...H spent the day with me and we had a blast...after the TV show we went to brunch at this new place we discovered about a month ago...it was wonderful...then we went snorkeling....walked around the tide pools, taking time to watch the fiddler crabs and the little fish swim around...stopped a few kids from poking at the sea anenomes...parents don't teach their kids about "life" and respecting it much it seems...then we walked around and went back to a Sushi restaurant that we had discovered last summer...had a wonderful dinner...then walked to an ice cream store and had the best ice cream before heading home...I had to bake a pie when I got home so as not to waste ingredients that I had left from the TV spot...so got that done...my D had made crepes for the first time while I was out and as full as I was I had to have one....raspberry and blueberry cream...she made them from scratch and boy oh boy were they good...
Sandi...make time to enjoy something wonderful today...you know sometimes we get on such a fast track that we forget the things that God created for our enjoyment...you will notice that even in my hectic schedule I took time to watch the crabs...and it was very enjoyable...I have taken time in the past to "really stop and smell the roses"...or even watch ants go about their work...OH...and yesterday while waiting for a table at brunch I was watching these little sparrows dust bathing in this yard...they were so cute...and it recalled to me a scripture I will share with you...I think you will find it encouraging...
(Luke 12:6-7) 6 Five sparrows sell for two coins of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them goes forgotten before God. 7 But even the hairs of YOUR heads are all numbered. Have no fear; YOU are worth more than many sparrows.
I hope you have a strong and good week...keep moving forward...you are doing a good thing and it will not go unnoticed!
