I've been thinking about the discussion of Cafe Cubini on Nathan (www.thenathanreport.blogspot.com) and Katie's (www.princessinwriting.blogspot.com) blogs. And I have a question - is it really worth getting so upset and risking hurting friends or the ski trip or anything over some cardboard decorations? We may still disagree, but for here and now we have to all just accept what has been planned. Maybe soem of us will even change some things next year - who knows? But I, for one, plan on working hard and having fun on Monday, Friday, and Saturday...no matter how much or 'not enough' decorations there are. It will help absolutely nothing to have a negative attitude about this year's plans anymore. Let's all just be happy and helpful and have a good time!! :-) God has really been showing me a lot of things I really need to be reminded of in this book I'm reading - "When God Writes Your Love Story" as well as from His Word. The other night I read a chapter about family. Now, my mom ALWAYS tells my siblings and I "If you can get along with your siblings, you can get along with anyone!" Thing is, it's prolly pretty true. Someone once told the author of the book that "You're only as holy as you are in your home". That really hit me hard. It also talked about how we expect perfection from our family more than anyone else. He gave the example of someone stepping on your foot. Now if someone you knew or didn't know did it, no matter how much it hurt, you'd probably just grunt out "That's ok...don't worry about it" or something like that. Now if your brother or sister did it...what would be YOUR reaction? I know what mine would be. And it wouldn't be a nice one 99% of the time. So that's just something I really struggle with and am going to try to work on. I encourage you all to do the same, although you may not struggle with it as much as I do. :-) My parents are going to Kansas tomorrow through Monday so Chris and Val Moore are staying with us kids. That should interesting...and I'll have time to practice loving my dear siblings while my parents are gone! But...eh...pray for the Moores. hehe. Scott Porter let Allen borrow a bunch of his CDs and Allen has let me listen to a few of them. One of them I've never heard before was the band Starlight Run. The first time I listened to a couple of their songs, I wasn't that thrilled with them. But then I listened to the CD again and I really liked the songs! I listened to it 2 times in a row! :-D It's very good and I recommend it to anyone and everyone! And thank you, Scott! :-D Song of the post~Diginity and Control by Straylight Run This is the only one I could find of theirs. And it was live. :-) Enjoy!! Charity | 7:40 am Comments-[ comments.] |
