good day

Well, today is Monday. Nuff said.

Yesterday however was a very good day. Matt taught a great lesson for our class at church. I was sleep deprived and I was still really into it. We are going through the book of Acts, but this lesson focused on a very short story in it, at the beginning of chapter 5, about Ananias and Sapphira. Basically a couple attempts together to deceive God. It is one of those short stories that has a lot in it to think about. We talked about what things we as couples can do to encourage each other or bring one another down. Whether there are any areas in our lives where we are in agreement with each other but not in agreement with God. (For example, television shows we enjoy together but that do not honor God, or times when we join together in negativity and allow that sort of atmosphere to fester in our homes) Many people shared honestly about things they struggle with. I felt that at the end of the lesson we'd all been given a lot to think about, and that we'd all been encouraged to invest something in our marriages this week.

After church I was finally able to get some much needed sleep - thank God for the really good earplugs! When I woke about 4 hours later it was to a sweet note from my hubby, a clean house, a clean desk, happy boys... wonderful! I got up and we made a family dinner - flat iron steak with a seriously divine red wine sauce, mashed potatos, asparagus with lemon pepper and olive oil, and strawberry ice cream with chocolate chips for dessert. YUM.

Matt got the boys cleaned up and then fixed my dryer while I finished putting two soft snuggly guys to bed.

Today I am just trying to focus on the sunshine and all the good things from yesterday...
