Random Thoughts Thursday

Some random things, some prayer requests, a Bible verse and one funny kid story-

We started scripture memory with our middle school class at church and they are doing pretty well. I've been thinking about the verse we are going to learn this week- Matthew 22:27-28 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. I wonder about that-heart, soul, mind? I want to know exactly what that means because I really want to do it, don't you?

The Little Man had his last day of school Tuesday. He had a wonderful year in two -year-old preschool. We had to stop by the grocery on the way home and he was so tired. He really wanted to hurry home and play in his new sandbox. I heard him cussing under his breath out of frustration. This is what he said. "Poopyhead. Shut up. Spank you on the BUTT. Stupid." All the "ugwee" words he could think of all streamed together. So funny! I'm thinking the next time someone cuts me off in traffic I may stick my head out the window and yell "Hey Poopyhead! Shut Up! I'm gonna spank you on the butt, stupid!"

This is the sixth week of my "Movin' on" oncology rehab exercise program. I have still only lost 2 pounds ( my goal was 20!) but I am getting stronger, building muscle, and hopefully encouraging others.

Many of you have asked about my mom. She is in Arkansas visiting family and enjoying being there. She is doing really well though I think overall. She said it was sad being with Dad's family on Memorial Day-she really missed him not being there. Plus Uncle Arley looks a lot like my dad and I know that makes it hard. I am so thankful for my family there in Arkansas. Pray for her, please.

Please take a minute to pray for LS. She had a miscarriage yesterday and is just heartbroken, of course.

School is winding down for the girls. They have both had good teachers and good experiences in school this year and I am thankful for that. Zoey said she gave her phone number to a boy because he wants to invite her over to his water slide. Wonder what water slide is code for? The Knight made a huge deal teasing her about it. He said, "Wait a minute. You mean you gave him MY phone number!! Some boy better not call here!" She got a kick out of that!

The healthy eating is going pretty well. The kids are doing really well with fruit and eating healthier snacks. Zoey found out she liked salmon and everyone is complaining less. Allison is all into recycling since she studied about it in science. Now we are knee-deep in newspapers and plastic jugs and every time I almost trip over it in the garage I think to myself, "Poopyhead!"

I want to thank you for being my friend, for encouraging me, for sharing in my journey, for loving my children, and for making me laugh. I feel so blessed to have such awesome friends. I truly hope you know my best friend-Jesus. If not, I'd love to introduce you.

Have a GREAT day!
