Good Day!
I woke up this morning at 4:30. I tried to go back to sleep but I just wasn't sleepy. I thought and thought about a lot of things that are going on. Then finally at 5:30 I just got up and started reading my bible. I read several chapters in Luke, several chapters in Psalms and a Proverb.
Isn't it weird how the devil makes us too much in a hurry to pray. Now that I have no one waiting on me to get up and cook breakfast....well, Gma does but she doesn't get up until 8:00, I can get up and take my time with the Lord. I find it so hard to force myself to pray. Isn't that puzzling. I can pray all day long off and on but when it comes to laying aside everything and getting on my knees and really carrying on a conversation with the Lord, it seems so hard to do. This is where I need to keep pushing myself.
My thank you notes are done so I was very relaxed. I watered the plants, got the garbage all out which included cleaning out the freezer that is no longer working.
I spent some time sitting on the front porch. Mike had planted some Birch trees in the front yard and they are so big now you can hardly see the house so the porch almost feels private. The birds are so cute as they twitter and jump into the evergreen bush at the corner of the porch. The Jasmine is blooming really good and smells delicious.
I gave up and got squirrel food and those little guys chewed up my plastic bird feeder and dropped it to the ground. That makes me so mad!!! Can't they just be thankful.
Around 9:30 I got a call from my friend Melinda. She wanted to know if I would like to come to her house for lunch. I accepted that invitation and my friend, Julie came and picked me up. We had a delicious Orange, Walnut and lettuce salad. It was very tasty and we also had little turkey sandwiches with cheese.
I never have been a "lady". I just never had time to visit and fellowship with other women. I always felt a little out of place. Usually I had things to do at home and I would really have felt bad to leave Mike at home. But, I really enjoyed this day. I think I could get used to being a lady. We visited for FIVE hours!!! Now that's visitation!
I am really tired now....I will probably sleep well tonight. Think I will go read some more. I love this peace and solitude.
