Monday

Things I Love About Today-
being woken up by my Daddy
dusting and vacuuming the basement
feeling productive
being pleasantly surprised
colors
a long enjoyable lunch with my Aunt Lori
planning VBS stuff
walking across sunny dandelion-filled fields
going to see Oma for her birthday!
visiting with her and Uncle Stan outside in the sunshine :)
listening to Kristen and Madeline's Senior Research Presentations
talking to my Grandma and Grandpa and answering funny questions
my beautiful Hanney!
watching people splatter-paint
chilling with the kids after dinner
listening to classical music- particularly:
Rachmaninov's Piano Concert No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18
and Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor
...the minor ones were pretty mellow and relaxing
good talks with Nathan :)

Verse of the Day-
Psalm 73:21-28,

When my soul was embittered,
when I was pricked in heart,
I was brutish and ignorant;
I was like a beast toward You.

Nevertheless, I am continually with You;
You hold my right hand.
You guide me with Your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
What have I in heaven but You?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

For behold, those who are far from You shall perish;
You put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to You.
But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made Yahweh God my refuge,
that I may tell of all Your works.
