Recommendation to self: Stay away from sensation-seeking news sites. Avoid any talk about end times or economic downturns. Seek instead to find peace in the midst of the nonsense. Remember these verses when the world tries to shove their brand of pessimism down your throat.
Going to enjoy the day. Oldest daughter bought us both tickets to see A Christmas Carole (in play form) tonight and I know that'll be fun. We did the same thing last year (though I bought my own ticket then), and it was so relaxing. I need that---desperately. And later on, after we finish up the schoolwork, the little ones and I intend on making a test batch of sugar cookies (Angel cookie recipe from Aunt Dimity's mystery books) to see if they'll work out for gift-giving. We call them Prancer cookies since they end up looking like the sugar cookies the little girl gives the reindeer in the movie Prancer.
Time to go now. Must get myself in gear. The weather is a bit odd for December, but I'll take it. Been overcast for days and days---could use some sunshine, but with the temperature in the 60s and being that it's blustery, you could almost convince yourself that Spring is on the way. It's supposed to dip into the 20s this weekend, though. The high Sunday or Monday is supposed to be right around freezing. My goodness. Well, am off now. Take care everyone.
"The days of the blameless are known to the Lord, and their inheritance will endure forever. In times of disaster they will not wither, in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.....I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed. Turn from evil and do good; then you will always live securely. For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake His faithful ones."~Psalm 38:18-19,25-28
