The first 24 hours of a new dog in our house has been a lot of fun! We have learned he knows a few tricks and loves to burrow under blankets. After making my bed 3 times yesterday I gave up, every time I turned my back he was under the blankets making a mess out of the bed.
Cabinet Maker is busy making cabinets for a custom kitchen and is loving every minute of what he is doing. Teenager is busy at school and currently enjoying reading books for literature on his kindle. The addition of 2 kindles to the house hold have been wonderful, both Teenager and I love to read and it saves a ton of time in library trips and the library we are near is tiny. So the vast amount that we have at our fingertips to read is awesome too.
Today's Doings:
~ Various chores to keep the house organized and clean
~ Bath for the new doggy(this has since been done, he doesn't mind the bath but hates to be toweled off)
~ I want to bake something but no idea what yet so many things to choose from
~ Trying to decide on my dinner plans again so many things to choose from and just can't decide I will let you know later via twitter what I decide on
~ Praise and worship with my Lord, I plan on blasting the music and just focusing on HIM
~Practice the Bass guitar with Art tonight, a friend is letting me borrow his so I can get some practice in
~ Post a menu here of my previous shopping on $70 or less a week
Today's Ponderings:
Proverbs 31:17
She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms.
How often do we wallow in self-pity for our situation? Bills you can't afford to pay, groceries you can't afford to buy, a house that is a disaster, you know all the mundane annoyances of life. We should be spending time in Father building up our strength and focusing on being strong to get things done the best way possible for our families. Are you building your strength every day? Do you spend time in the word with Father every day? Do you worship and praise HIM every day? Are you letting the Joy of the Lord be your strength? Are you content in what you do have so that you can build up your family in HIS strength?
Today work on the Joy of the Lord being your strength. Do something that will strengthen your family in the Lord. Go the extra mile to have an area of the house clean, organized and cheerful that your husband has been complaining about. Sit down with your child and do the craft project or make the batch of cookies your family would like to have. Have dinner ready, the kitchen organized form making dinner and the table set for your husband tonight. After dinner just sit and relax doing something he likes to do. Make your day about being a Servant to all in your home.
Today's Stuck in your head Praise:
If you want to be great in God's kingdom learn to be a servant of all
If you want to be great in God's kingdom learn to be a servant of all
Learn to be a servant of all
Learn to be a servant of all
If you want to be great in God's kingdom learn to be a servant of all
