A Day With Fay...

If you have watched the news lately you may know that Florida has been dealing with Tropical Storm Fay. Fay has slowly drug through Florida for four days now bringing wind, rain and flooding. Fay is right on top of our area of Florida today, but thankfully the effect is not as severe as it has been further south.
Today school and work was out and we have been in the house all day.
Here is a few scenes outside:

So...we have had to find things to do inside - like Legos...
Someone gave us a bunch of collard greens, so I spent time cleaning, cutting and cooking them...

This is my favorite sight of the day, this young man has golf fever and set up a course in the living room. He even dressed like a golfer, by himself, but apparently he hasn't worn these pants in a while!!!


Here is the adventurous one...walking around outside in his rubber boots and raincoat...

Then we made a cake...it turned out delicious... will post the recipe soon




So, that is our day so far inside, I think we have one more soggy day ahead, but we are truly blessed to receive much needed rain without all of the damaging elements.

    Boy I wish we had some of that rain. Looks like you're taking good advantage of the indoor time. We mostly stay indoors just because it is so hot outside. Please - send us a little of that rain.

    Thanks for commenting and letting me know you made the cake...even better that you liked it! ; ) Is that the one I see in the picture? It's making me hungry for it again! Good thing I promised hubby I wouldn't use the oven today or I'd be on my way to the kitchen right about now! (It's 97 degrees here and using the oven would only make the a/c have to work that much harder!)

    Hope the rain is starting to dwindle in your neck of the woods. It doesn't take too much of being cooped up before cabin fever starts to settle in.

    Blessings,
    Tracy = )

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
