The Folly of Self-Pity
Good evening my loyal fans! I have been reassured that I do have a fan base and I'm not just blogging into air. Thank you everyone for your feedback.
Wouldn't you know! I'm reading a book called "God Meant It For Good". It is about Joseph. I read a couple of chapters each night before bed which is what I did the night after I last blogged. Guess what the name of the next chapter happened to be? It was "The Folly of Self-Pity"!! OK, got that message loud and clear.
You know the worse part?I am very ashamed. Did anyone catch how I was whining about my skin and weight then stopped for a minute to ask for prayers about my Dad's ANGIOPLASTY and then continued to carry on about my skin and weight and feeling "blue". See that's what self-pity does. It makes you self-absorbed stupid. I am so sorry Dad, Tammy & baby brother.
I did figure something out. We had something scheduled every single night last week (six days in a row). This meant I had a ton of stuff at home to do with little time to do it. I think I was feeling overwhelmed. We did not go to Church or Sunday School. I did the shopping, carwashing, housecleaning, yardwork, laundry, school paperwork, checkbook balancing, meal-for-the-week cooking and running instead. Guess what? I felt like a new person once everything was done. Being better prepared put me ahead of the game for this week and it has lightened the burden.
I took the kids to the new Bass Pro Store. OH MY, OH MY! It is jaw dropping big. Someone needs to come visit SA just so I can take you to see this place. The kids were more impressed with this than Fiesta Texas. I don't remember the last time a store made such an impression on me. Remember, I don't hunt, fish or camp and I still want to go back.
Everyone have a good week. My Dad's procedure will be tomorrow or Friday. I'll keep everyone posted. Love!

Karen, I will be praying for your dad. Holly
Prayers lifted up for your dad and for Tammy as she helps him recover. Also for that sweet brother of yours.
The procedure was done Friday. He is doing well and should be home by Monday. Thanks for the prayers.
