A quiet day. Didn't go anywhere, which was a treat. Saturdays tend to busyness, what with usually buying flowers for church (no more flowers until lilies for Easter), going grocery shopping, etc. Doing less is best. Gary and I bought a few things at the store last night, which was the most brilliant thing either of us did all week. Really.
Mentioned to the childrens' Sunday School teacher that I needed to take a break from helping her. Just some time. She was cool about it. One of the nicest folks I know, so not surprised at her sweetness. Her daughter will help her, while I get my bearings.

Oldest daughter gave me a tiny toy train engine to keep in my pocket, for when I lose my train of thought. Cracks me up every time I think of it, especially considering she has one as well. She keeps it in her jeans' pocket ALL the time. And this girl doesn't even have a boyfriend. Consider. Is that even right? She's got the sense of humor that slips up behind you. My favorite kind. Actually, after former who was sweet Indian boyfriend acted unseemly, she's taking her time. The Lord hasn't brought any young men into her life, and she's in no hurry. Wise, I'm thinking.
New neighbor working on house next door. The house on the other side of us is vacant too, and glad this woman is moving in to the house furtherest (is that a word?) away from the chicken coop. Milk was very loud this morning, wanting Anastasia to get her little behind out of the nesting box. They have two, but are partial to the one. They'll just carry on until the chicken setting gets out of it. We'll end up with 3-4 eggs on one side. They aren't real bright.
Believing God for great things around here. I feel it deep inside. No signs yet, and usually that's the way the Lord works. Where lately He's said to me, "Do you trust me?" Well, that's morphed into, "Do you have faith?" There is a difference. I'm learning to believe when there is absolutely no proof He even heard me, but we know that's just silly. He heard and He will answer.
Saw two of my out-of-the-house boys today. That was a blessing in itself. Hang on (I'm talking to you.) He's there. And He's here.
