Sabbath

Today is sunday. I love Sundays, they are so rejuvenating. I went to church alone as Bry is recouperating from his knee surgery last Thursday. He is feeling better, but didn't feel up to sitting 3 hrs. Sharon invited us to dinner. She had the best dinner, Zuccinni Parmesan with bread sticks and alfredo sauce. Then she had a salad with a slice of tomatoe, a slice of cheese, and a leaf of Basil, doused in olive oil and then sea salt. it was scrumptious. We stayed for 2 1/2 hrs gabbing after. It was a very nice evening. I really like Larry her new husband. He seems very suited to her. I love having Bry talk about when we met. It is nice to hear him tell of the stark realization that he knew he knew me prior to our meeting.
I ate pretty good today. I felt like I was eating to fuel my body and not out of boredom or stress. (except for 3 cookies and some taco chips) I threw the rest of the cookies in the garbage.

We talked about trials today in church. How they are gifts and how you react to them tells more about you than anything.

I thought about the trials I have had in my life. Nothing compared to what Job had to endure. I remember when I was in the accident that hurt my back. That night I couldn't sleep I was in so much pain, and when I went to the dr. and he told me there was nothing he could do for me, I thought I couldn't endure it for even another night, let alone forever. I was overwhelmed. I couldn't imagine how I would get through it. I did it for 12 years. I bore the pain, and it taught me a lot. #1 I didn't have to accomplish alot to be important in God's eyes. (Although I do get a great satisfaction from accomplishments, even tiny daily ones.) #2
