"If the attacks are intensifying, then we are making the enemy nervous. We need to take heart from that thought."
"While we must be aware of the enemy's schemes, do not let your full concentration be on him. Do not give him more power than he has."~unknown
These quotes are perfect for me at this very moment. The thing is, I can't remember where I found them---I'd jotted them on a pad of paper, but neglected to write down the author. Christa Parrish's Still Life, maybe? I'm wondering since hers is an e-book, and I couldn't figure out how to underline in it on my phone Kindle app. Maybe I wrote them down, intending on putting them in my journal? I have no clue.
With this receding migraine, not so much pain, but the muzzy-headedness, and a faint bruise in my head, I can't seem to remember stuff. I was trying to listen to my mom's bank balance on the phone today, and for the life of me, couldn't figure out what had been paid out and what her remaining amount was. Just didn't make a lick of sense to me.
I put it to stress.
You all sustain me. And for that, I'm eternally grateful. No condemnation for the pickle our child has gotten himself into (to put it mildly), but love. I stand in awe of your friendship. Women standing in the gap.
For now, I'm making vegetable soup for dinner and middle daughter is mixing up cornbread. Oldest daughter found a recipe for a Lemon Poppyseed cake in the Moosewood Cookbook for afters. Tea and cake. A comfort.
