Today was one of those days that has gone on forever!!! It is Sunday and my guys all went to church... then tonight they have gone to the church's fall festival... And me.. well, here I sit!!! I really feel better and am ready to "get about" .... HOWEVER.... the man of the house is not letting me... I do appreciate that he is taking care of me and all that... but , for a busy bee like me!! UGGGG! Sitting still is not the norm - not even the occasional!!! I know, I know.. GOD said "be still and know" ---I am working on that one...
My sweet boys are being really so helpful. They are your typical "momma does everything for me and I expect that" kind of boys... but, I really have been amazed at how they CAN do things for themselves.. The boys are 6 (& 1/2) and 9(& 1/2) --don't forget the 1/2s!!! I have really done a good job of caring for their EVERY WHEM and WISH!!! "a daughter-in-law's dream" HAHAHAHA!!!!! But, when they are cute and loving like mine... it is too hard not to over do for them... It is all in love!! They are showing it right back now... They are helping and not complaining too much...
As for the "BIG GUY" in my life... he is the best... I could write an entire day about him and not scratch the surface... He loves me- elephants and all... He even has a "sympathetic elephant" on his chest!!! He has been such a trooper... I love him so much... Actually, I loved him (as they say) before I knew him... We were good friends in college and then again after-- when we were in the "real world" but it took me a while to realize that friends can be lovers too...I thought that I had to seperate my life in to bits... Little did I know but GOD had different plans for me and my "POOH!" GOD worked in our relationship from the beginning and WHEW am I glad!! The plans that I had for me... YUCK!! GOD's plans are so much better...
Now, back to the elephants... I was listening to one of my favorite preachers a la television this morning... and he reminded me of my lesson "BE STILL AND KNOW".... He was preaching on the miracle of Jesus when the men lowered the paralyzed man through the roof... He(preacher) reminded me that to heal the physical GOD also has to heal the spiritual... That our sins seperate us from GOD and that He wants to restore that relationship as well as the physical body... I began to think on that and see another layer of this come to the light... GOD has stilled me to a stop for me to heal... first, my spiritual self... to let Him love me and work through me.... At the same time, He is healing my physical... slowly so that I can realize that it is all about HIM... and for me not to get cocky( yep, I could do that) and to give Him all the glory... So, with that though.. me and my little blue elephant are signing off... He is getting smaller but he just moved his tail(it's under my right arm- where they took some lymph nodes) and that is beginning to bother me...
good night- sleep tight ---don't let the elephants bite!!!
