This afternoon, while A and R went off by themselves for an hour or so, I did a bunch of stuff around the house and yard, and then I just sat on the patio. I watched sparrows playing and fluttering through the sprinkler, and I thought about that verse where Jesus talked about God caring for the sparrows/birds. And I thanked God for the beauty in my own backyard and for caring for me and everyone I love. I was as present with God as I am when I'm in church. It was wonderful. So, try not to feel guilty about not making it to church in awhile. God knows you need rest and time with your family.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to send you and Johanna that "Joseph" book I was telling you about when I'm done with it. It has some interesting thoughts about this very issue!<BR/><BR/>God bless!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611295306171246645noreply@blogger.com
