Choose the Right


So ends anther Sunday. And for many mothers in the LDS faith/culture, we are breathing a sigh of relief. I for one find the "day of rest" to be the hardest day of the week. Because of this I have to make a real effort to remember this is worth it.

This morning was the typical rush to get breakfast and lunch doled out at the same time to various shifts of people depending on where they were in their morning wake up routine, and also thawing a roast to go in the crock pot for dinner when we arrive home from our 1-4 PM church block. It was the usual fight over the 2 bathtubs for 5 people (you would think that would be enough), the search for black socks, and orders to brush your teeth, and straighten your tie. It was of course me, who was the last one out the door with a tube of lipstick in my hands to apply as we drive to the meetinghouse.

And on my way out of my bedroom I stepped on something sharp (as my shoes were in my hands).

And when I looked down it was a child's CTR ring. Pointy side of the shield up.

It is a good thing I Chose the Right in not uttering the expletive I was thinking.

It is the Sabbath, of course.

My day of rest.

Sigh.

Sunday's are the craziest day of the week here too. And I am always the last one ready and out the door too, I wonder why that is!

I struggle with Sundays, too. I keep reminding myself that Satan is just trying to ruin my day, but he sure does a good job.

A little quote or two...

“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” -Washington Irving

soul," --Nicole Moncur 2008

BOOK HOUSE from the paper of my Grandfather Sidney W. Campbell

I always think the cover of a book is like a door Which opens into someone's house where I've not been
before. A pirate or a fairy queen may lift the latch for me. I always wonder when I knock, what welcome there will be. And when I find a house that's dull, I do not often stay But when I find one full of friends, I'm apt to spend the day. I never know what sort of folks will be within you see. And that's why reading always is so interesting to me. ~~Annie Fellows Johnston
