T.G.I.F.

Thank God It's Friday! It has been an interesting week for me and I am glad to say it's almost over! There hasn't been much posting for the blog, but there has been a lot of other stuff going on:
My job is a church secretary where quarterly financial reports must be done - and balanced to the penny! Early in the week, I was preparing the reports and was waaayyy off on the balances. I spent three days trying to find the error, went through every single transaction, expense and income and finally found that it was a computer glitch causing a wrong amount to show! GRRRR. Those computers! Since I spent so much time on that, most everything else fell behind schedule.
On my day off, I had a routine dental check up. Like clockwork, every six months there is a visit to the dentist. For 15 years these visits have been nice and bland, no surprises, no cavities, no trouble. During the cleaning the hygienist asked, "So when did your tooth break off?" Duh - I had no idea a tooth had broken off! Turns out, one corner is off a tooth in the back and it is cracked all the way across and ready to break on the other corner. So...a (very expensive) cap is in store to be put on in a few weeks!
Also this week has been frigid weather for Florida - I liked it though! We threw in some soccer practices and a soccer game also.
So today which is Friday, at work I'm getting a handle on things and a co worker comes to the door with the question, "Are you squeamish?" Is there a right answer for that? Turns out he rammed a splinter into his thumb, all the way through his thumb and needed some help pulling it out. Guess who was the only one around???? This was not part of the job description!
So after a hectic week, Friday is the night to relax and go to bed early, but one son (the middle one who doesn't get much opportunity to get out) got an invitation for a birthday party and skate trip. The party doesn't end until 11:00 PM and I've got to go pick him up. The things we do for those dear children!
So this week is almost over, and we're looking forward to the weekend! Thanks for letting me grumble! And I will now return to my joyfull self!

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....
