Scripture standout: 1 Peter 3: "13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "
Acts 17: "28‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[b]
John 14: "But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
Morning thoughts: I'm worried about a lot of things — some much bigger than others. They range from the health of a friend to who's going to be looking after the boys while I take Ben and Marley to camp this weekend. I must have been sleep-worrying, which is the WORST, because I woke up at 4 a.m. with a monster, vice-squeezing headache. And no, I did not enjoy too much chardonnay last night for the record. Why is it so obvious and easy to understand that since God is in charge, I have not a thing to worry about — but so difficult to let go?
The Deed/The Day: I promised myself to just "let go!" and chill out on my worries. But it was soon broken by a flurry of emails I sent in a worried panic. I madly typed plans A, B and C for an upcoming event. I grew pimples. I chewed my finger nails. Knowing how stupid this behavior was, I penned another email telling someone I was just going to "Let go and let God." And would you know within 5 minutes — no kidding — I received an email of "don't worry, it's all handled." LOVE it, when I get real obvious-like hints.
Today's deed was getting a few necessary items for Quodrat, the other 13-year-old Afghan coming to stay with us for the summer. Some sweet Florida duds!
The last deed was to familiarize myself with a situation I had not contemplated before. Hottie Brian Williams' cronies aired a story tonight about how WWII veterans are dying away — and many have wishes to visit their military service past. A group of them went to DC this weekend and received a heroes welcome at the DC airport and WWII memorial. So touching! Watch this for a little pre-Memorial Day enlightenment:
Their trip was sponsored by this group Forever Young Senior Wish. There are plenty of needs noted — it's good to know where they are, and one way to meet them. Wondering where to find this group? Why, it's www.foreveryoungseniorwish.org of course!
