November

Time is flying by. The weather is starting to get cold. We have had several frosty mornings so far. Old man winter will be here before we know it.

Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me. Bless His holy name!

Red Sox and Caffeine

The second Red Sox game and too much caffeine have me up late tonight. I've been to bed already once but didn't get back to sleep after DH came to bed. The score is tied in the 7th so this game could go very late. My DH got me started watching the sox and I have quickly become an avid fan.

My DD has begun to settle into her stateside job and is working at making her apartment home. She has great nesting skills so I have no doubt she will make it welcoming and comfortable. I am proud of her for turning things around so quickly.

Grace....amazing grace!

I have come to enjoy the "My Chains are Gone" version of Amazing grace. It touches me through and through..."My chains are gone, I am set free. My God, my Savior randsomed me. And like a flood his mercy reigns...unending love, amazing grace." Grace, unmerited favor. Mercy undeserved forgiveness. I need it. I want it. I accept it. Thank you Lord.

Knowing what's important!

This morning I had a plan. It was complicated. It would have been tiring. It would not have been fun! And it probably wouldn't have worked.
DH asked me to go with him to take pictures of him trying out his propulsion invention for his boat. This is a project he's worked on for weeks, giggling and laughing his way through. Now to test it in water!

But I had plans/ schemes...other must do things. And then I remembered.

After God, DH is my priority. God could handle the rest of it. So I went. Wow. It was fun. It was interesting and I took lots of photos. My favorite was his leap to try and keep dry. He didn't but it was spectacular!

And all that I needed to do at home came together...easily.
