Sunday Sabbath February 21 2016  A DAY OF REST

A quick hello to tell everyone I survived the party.  My house survived the party.  Two little boys and two big boys survived the party.  But oh boy, can they create quite a ruckus!  Especially, when the little boys want to wrestle with the big boys, and the big boys want to wrestle with the little boys.  I can’t quite figure out just who the biggest kids are?  All I know is that Zach, at eight years old, is getting too strong to wrestle with the “older” generation.  And two, three, or four bodies take up a lot of room.  And the noise enters another decibel level.  And we two women just talk over the cacophony of grunts and giggles and Amy prays that no one gets hurt (as I pray that NOTHING OF VALUE gets destroyed.)  All’s well that ends well.  The evening ended well, but it was a lot of fun for the big boys and the little boys. 

Today is the first Sunday night service at our church which will continue from this point forward.  The service will be a repeat of the two morning services.  Dave and I would like to support this endeavor, and even though we will attend the early A.M. service, we would like to be present for at least the first night of the P.M. service.  This service is to be an outreach to the University of Wisconsin, Madison campus.  I hope it is a successful outreach.

Today I am just checking in to let my faithful readers know that I am taking the afternoon off from writing my blog due to the fact that my day will be so short and I have much rest to do.  I was trying to figure out what I absolutely needed to do so I could tell you how busy I am, but I decided I am not going to do anything but cook and rest.  I need to come down from the past few days of anticipation and excitement.

A DAY OF REST

A day of rest

To replenish

And refill my reservoir.

A day of rest

To finish

And restore.

A day of rest

In silence sweet

To contemplate.

A day of rest

The Lord to meet.

And on him wait.

Have a wonderful Sunday Sabbath!
