Good Morning Dear Ones,

*

Hope this finds you full of hope and anticipation

for this Lord's day!

*

I have to admit I am a bit weary and tired tonight

as I am writing this for tomorrow.  It was a busy

week,  and we have both been more tired than usual,

  so wondering  if we are trying to fight off a bug or something.

It has been sooooo good not to have anything that we had to

do today,  so we have slept in,  had a nice breakfast with our son,

 since  he was off today.

 (not on the porch tho,  as it is back up in the 80's),

talked and drank coffee, did a lil work on my blog, took a short nap,

made a salad and had pizza hut pizza and watched a dvd of

"Seventh Heaven".  The kids got us a set of the first series for

Christmas one year,  and we love it,  we also loved that show,

and were so sad when they took it off the air.

*

Not a particularly productive day physically,  but productive

emotionally and relationally!  And when I think about it...

 it really was productive physically cause when we are tired

 that is our body and the Lord telling us we need to rest.

It took years,  but I finally decided that I should take heed

to those warning signs.  That has since served me well.

*

We had a wonderful time on Friday evening with 12 of our

 friends,  and all sorts of wonderful Fall desserts.

We got to talking about strange or unusual jobs that we

had over the years.  There were some really funny

stories I have to say.  I told my husband later, too

bad we didn't know that was gonna happen cause

we could have given a prize for the best story.

*

The two best ones were, from a fellow who worked as a

coal miner when he was young,  and all the crazy stuff his fellow

workers did to him when he started,  after telling him before he ever

stepped foot into the mine, that  this was a very serious job and there

 would be no playing or horsing around because someone could really get
 hurt.  They used to have food fights and dust fights,  and do all sorts of
crazy stuff.  Made me wonder if that had anything to do with why those
mines collapse?? lol

*

The other  story,  was a fellow that shoveled pig manure to pay his

 way thru college,  and he talked about how smelly he was and how no

matter how many baths you took,  it was hard to get rid of the smell,

and how it used to affect his dating life!  hilarious!!

He really had a heart to go to college I would haveto say!!
 God Bless Him!!

*

Wish you could have heard all the details,  they

were truly hysterical and they had us dying laughing!!

There were a lot of other good stories as well,

Anyway,  it was a good time had by all, and truly
a blessing for us to be able to do it!.

Someone asked me to take some pics and again

I got too caught up in the festivities and forgot!!
Sorry!!

*

I will leave you now with a scripture from

Hebrews 4:12

*

*

"For the word of God is living and active.  Sharper

than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to

dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;  it judges

the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."

*

*

Hope you have a beautiful and restful day

filled with God's amazing word.

*

Thanks for stopping in

Love,  Hugs,  and Blessings,

Nellie
