This is going to be short tonight because. . . . I didn't do that much today.  My plans were huge, but actuality not so much.  I started a book this morning, thinking I would just read a little bit before I got started with the day.  Ended up reading the whole book!!  I have to stop that!

I did do a couple loads of Orrin's work clothes.  Which reminds me, I need to get them out of the dryer.  We grilled hamburgers tonight, and I boiled some small red potatoes.  That was good.

It was pretty warm out today, and supposed to be warmer tomorrow.

Jeremy cut his hand today, and needed 13 stitches.  And was told not to use it for a week.  So, Jeremy, behave!  You will need that hand again.

And that's about it!  Sorry,

Hugs, Orrin, Linda and Teddy.

Philippians 4:4-13New International Version (NIV)

Final Exhortations

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ⁹ Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Thanks for Their Gifts

¹⁰ I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. ¹¹ I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. ¹² I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. ¹³ I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
