My eyes flitted open a little after 7 but closed again knowing I had the luxury of staying in bed a few more minutes. The house was quiet so I just enjoyed the warmth and comfort of my bed, knowing soon I would need to get up and shower, make sure Colton was up and fed before church. Right about 7:45 I heard Colton get out of bed so I thought I should get up as well. I bid Colt a good morning, did you sleep well? Fixed him an apple and peanut butter and told him I was going to shower.
During my quiet time Colt was coloring a picture of Noah and when he asked me something about the flood, Holy Spirit opened the door for me to share the gospel with him. What a blessing. At one point I was crying and he told me not to cry but I told him because of Jesus' great sacrifice for me and how much He suffered because of sin . . . Colton's eyes filled with tears that did not fall but I know Holy Spirit was working in his heart. It was a blessed morning for me and this young boy I love so much.
All the way to his house we sang God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen :) I had written the words down on a piece of paper for him and we sang it for his Dad when he answered the door :) All the other kids went home Sat after playing their 'find' the jenga block, playing outside, a rousing game of Pay Day and some chocolate chip cookies. Asa spent the night with Alexandre so it was just me and Colton here. He went to bed easily and I dropped into bed exhausted. It was a good weekend. I missed Jillian and Isaac.
Church was good as usual. I am always so blessed with Kathy K leads. She loves Jesus so much you just can't help but join right in and praise Jesus with her. She really knows how to marry songs together to bring your heart to a place of surrender in worship. Great service. Pastor Aaron's message again one just what I needed to hear.
I came home from church and set about cleaning my living room and even re arranged it. Got if finished so ate some lunch then went to see Sully. What a good movie! Wow. It all happened not too long after Doug died so I don't have a clear memory of it but I do remember seeing a tiny bit of news coverage. It was a really good movie!
Home again now watching the news maybe a movie or maybe bed early. I don't work till 10 tomorrow yippee
