A Day Off
I'm taking a day off. I wasn't in church this morning. A massive headache led to pain meds which sometimes play havoc with my tummy. This was one of those times and I still feel lousy. Hmmm, maybe it's something besides the pain meds. But anyway, church happened without me. It was our combined service and pot luck day, one of my favorite times at FBC.
We got a call from oldest daughter Stephanie who will be here with her youngest daughter Chani this evening. I hope I'm feeling better by then. Richard is going to get U-Bake (my name for them) pizza for all to eat... I will abstain. Pizza doesn't sound all that good to me just now. Actually, I think I'll opt for fasting... not a religious fast, I only do that when led by the Lord, but a health-based fast. I just don't feel like eating.
I have slept much of the day away half reclined on the couch. I'm thankful I don't have little ones to care for or work that simply "must" be done. It is a blessing to have a husband who is kind and caring and can fend for himself and for me when I feel bad. It's also good to know that Stephanie and Chani aren't coming to check up on my housekeeping; they just want to spend some time with us.
Monday, Americans will take a day off. Memorial Day parades and programs have been taking place all weekend and will spill into Monday when the special day is observed. We honor those who gave their lives to procure and preserve freedom for Americans. While we have allowed some of those freedoms to be encroached upon or stolen through unwise legislation or over reached fueled by fear, most are still part of our heritage. A huge price was paid for them.
So, as we take a day off tomorrow, let us pause to thank God and our fallen heroes for the freedoms we still enjoy. I have created a Memorial Day page to honor those who gave so much. It also has some links, including my free Memorial Day sets and graphics. I hope you will be blessed by it.
