Good morning! Well the clutz was at it again. Last night I stepped outside to take pictures of my candles burning. And then head to the baby shower. I took the pictures took two steps off my deck, sprained my ankle, and banged up my knee. NOT serious, but achey. UGH! I'm glad I was not more pregnant, because then I would have been worried about the baby--instead I'm just worried about my kids bumping it.
The shower was fun--not a huge attendance but it went ok. Kinda anticlimactical on a week like this. But the babies birth STILL needed to be celebrated.
Thoughts for the day.
Daniel 2:20
"Praise the name of God forever and ever,
for he alone has all wisdom and power.
21
He determines the course of world events;
he removes kings and sets others on the throne.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the scholars.
22
He reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he himself is surrounded by light.
23
I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors,
for you have given me wisdom and strength.
You have told me what we asked of you
and revealed to us what the king demanded."
Daniel was a man who'd had his whole country destroyed. Removed to a different country. Most of his family destroyed--and forced to serve the King who did it to him. And yet. He still Praised God! How incredible.
"We bring the sacrifice of praise, into the house of the Lord."
Father thank you for my family. for the cheer they've given me this week. Thank you for my husband going back to a job he's not thrilled about. Thank you for the gorgeous weather outside. Thank you that I wasn't holding the baby when I fell. And didn't do serious damage to myself. Thank you for your love for us. Even when we don't understand it. In your sons name Amen.
On a different note. A friend from New Zealand sent these to me--to show that New Zealand grieves with us. This is the Chalice statue in Christchurch, New Zealand. Thank you Tracie for these. I know that you are behind us.

I am sorry to hear that you hurt yourself! Hope it gets better soon! Thanks for sharing the pics!
Hugs to you hon! You poor thing. Keep it up and put ice on it!
Thanks for sharing the information about Daniel. One more thing that would have been hard for him was the fact that he was given a different name by his captors. It was a plan of total assimilation of a people. The best way to defeat is to remove a person's identity.
Much love!
