7 Quick Takes Friday

For once, I am really going to try to keep these quick!

1. My niece's team lost on Thursday. It was so sad. I am such a sympathetic cryer so I was blubbering. Especially when she hugged her daddy (my brother). Anyway, they played their best and that is all that counts. They made it to the top 4 teams in the state and that is something to be proud of.

2. Never get super glue on your fingers. Its a very annoying feeling. I am starting to wonder when the glue will come off...

3. Also never run errands between 4-6 PM when you are hungry and then come home to a complicated recipe that you haven't fully read and try to cook it while your hungry children swarm around you.

4. I was having a really bad day on Thursday with my children and finally I closed myself in my bedroom and turned to my daily prayer book. The reading was from Matthew 7 which tells us "ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you..." Wow, talk about timely. I was down and out and I ran into my room to seek guidance and comfort. Here I was reminded that the Lord is just waiting for me to ask. The prayer also started with "Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me." God is good!

5. Kellan has pink eye this week. Poor guy, its the second time he has had it. He is such a trooper with the drops though. Please pray he will feel better soon.

6. I made my mother-in-law cry this week. It was her birthday on Tuesday and I mailed her photos of the boys holding signs that read "Happy Birthday Nana. We Miss you!" I was so happy I made her something that she really appreciated. It is so tough having them so far away in Arizona, that I love to do things to bring us closer to them.

7. On Tuesday, while we were at my niece's ballgame, Logan's lips were really chapped. He ate some popcorn which really irritated the skin so we applied some chapstick. About 20 minutes later, Logan turns to me,

"Mama my lips feel better!"

me: "Oh really buddy, that is good."

Logan: "Ya, Jesus healed them!"

Gotta love it!

Happy birthday to my biggest brother, LeRoy!

Have a great weekend!
