Rejoicing

Okay, so Paul, the Apostle, (told by the Holy Spirit, of course) knew that we are stubborn creatures and had to be told things twice. Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always: AND AGAIN I say, Rejoice." Today it's harder than others. "Lord, Help me ONLY think about my blessings." 1. my salvation, 2. my Bible, 3. my family, 4. my dear friends, 5. air I breathe, 6. that I can get up and go.........

Today is Tuesday

 A new day spread before me. What mischief can I accomplish? Hmmm.. Dug through the garage in search of a box of dad's artwork that I've protected and put in a safe place. Not there. Tore apart every closet and storage place in the house. Nope, nothing, nada. My prayer is that when we have the garage sale I can spot it somewhere.

Facebook

Facebook is interesting. I have had the practice of perusing phone books when in a different city. Over the years I have run across an occasional Ubbink, a few Wires, and several Wanners. Well, did this same thing on Facebook. Came across a man in the Netherlands that has the same name as my Granddaddy, Dirk. I thought about it for awhile and then wrote him a note yesterday. I got a nice note back. He is a physician there in Holland. He wasn't aware of any Ubbinks in the USA. I don't want to be a nuisance to him, but I plan to write him back. 

Beautiful day here. Wesley is cutting teeth again and he has a runny nose and cough. He now likes to chase me around the circle from the living room around to the kitchen. He gets this little grin and just walks fast

Wesley ate his green beans and shell mac & cheese by himself. Big Boy! Finally caught Wesley standing with his hands behind his back. He does this quite often. I've seen Larry do it and Joel puts his hands on his hips every once in a while. Melissa said, "Monkey see, Monkey do."
