We
got the yard mowed. Accomplishment
number one. Sounds easy, doesn’t
it? Let me hasten to add then, that this
momentous event occurred after two solid weeks of rain around here. There was a thick layer of grass growing out
of grass surrounding weeds hiding colonies of mosquitoes waiting to pounce and
suck blood in an instant. I gotta say,
there were not many steps recorded on my step counter app, but it definitely
counts as a strength building day for the knee.
My leg was, and is, sore all the way down into my ankle and foot. I feel pretty good otherwise. Maybe a day off today …
I
connected with the Humphries family up in Alaska again. Accomplishment number two. We have been praying for them every Sunday at
church, so I reached out to ask for some specific prayer requests for the
family and for the ministry. You might
add them to your prayer list as well.
It’s tough living in that cold, barren wasteland of the north, even
during the season when it is beautiful.
The
LaMarque cousins came over for a visit yesterday. It was quite a calm invasion. After lunch (pizza, of course), Jachin and
Micah played a game of Monopoly on the Wii.
My first time to see that one.
Irritatingly captivating. Josiah
played some games on his iPad. Noa began
a sewing project with Nana. That just
left the two younger ones. Ezra took a
nap. It may or may not be true that I took
a nap as well. No comment. Well, other than … Accomplishment number three.
In
anticipation of our excursion coming up on Sunday, I went through my stuffed
animal buddies. Accomplishment number
four. Had to make sure I had each of
their names and birthplaces recorded for posterity. They have grown into quite an entourage. I can’t wait to see if any cousins emerge on
our road trip.
Psalms
101:1 says, “I will sing of your love and
justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing praise.”
Father,
be with Kenny and Lauren Humphries and their kiddos. Give them encouragement every day in little
ways as well as some mighty ones. Amen.
