G'morning!

Here I am typing this entry by the light of the fish aquarium.  I don't want to turn on all the lights as I don't like to wake people up.  Did you know that children were people to?!  They deserve as much courtesy as a stranger in the store.  That's the only way they'll learn it!  When you give to your children patience, they will give patience to each other.  When you are snappy with them, they become snappy with each other.  Etc., etc.

I am a bit ashamed of my most recent behavior, but at least I am more rested today.

God has been blessing us immensely.  He's been giving and giving until our cup has not only been over flowing ~ but is now reaching the spill-over-onto-others stage.

In all this glorying, I fall short and really~ flat on my face.

It's so embarrassing.

Friends, I have everything to smile about, and yet exhaustion seeks to smother my happiness.  I'm still praying.  I'm still following God's Word.  I still believe that all things work together for good.  My faith in God is strong.  I'm just struggling to smile lately.

I'm not angry.  I'm not mad.  But my face has resumed a downward position and it is NOT flattering.

I'm *sigh*-ing more often and while I am still standing on God's promises ... Well, I'm just having a difficult time here!

No one has been majorly wounded by my disposition, rather, I may be just the only one who has noticed the difference.  But it's bothering me.

When you pray to the One True God, please remember me.  I need the joy of the LORD to burst forth from within so the Holy Spirit can shine onto the lives of others through me.  God bless you, as always, and more also this day.
