With the beginning of Advent here, I have been wondering how to prepare my heart for Jesus. I know, I should probably think of these things before Advent begins. That is another bad habit that needs changing, but one thing at a time. Having a heart full of love seems to be where I was led, and believe me the Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak my friend. I had a beautiful day yesterday, however, the moment when love was truly required, did I respond with love? Sadly, I did not. All the intentions to spread love to others was gone as soon as someone was less than kind to me. So, today, I will try again. Prayers will be graciously accepted!
We are supposed to be camping right now. Two kids are camping, sort of. They are camped out on the couch with fevers. I am trying to stay positive (I am positive I am disappointed!) and count my blessings on this day before Thanksgiving. Thankful: - that my husband braved the grocery store so I could stay home and nurse sick little people. - for Advil, since fevers over 103 scare me. - for beautiful fall colors outside the window. - that we are not trying to care for sick kiddos in a camper far from the comforts of home. - that I got some pretty photos of the kids this weekend - for family and friends - for a roof over our heads, food for our bodies, and clothing for us all - for a God who loves me, even at my worst I pray for quick healing for my kids and all those who are sick on this day. I pray that all of you may have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day tomorrow.
