So I've had one of those weeks. One of those fight with your husband, too many meetings, not enough money, children upset at me. lots of self-added stress kind of weeks. And last night I was thinking, what in the world did the pastor talk about last Sunday? Something about Peace=Faith, or there is only peace when you surrender to God, or something else equally important and probably seriously helpful
this week in particular. In fact,
someone probably knew that I would have this week ahead of time and so led
somebody to preach on it last week.
Unfortunately for me, I am worn out, too worn out to do what is for my own good and dive into the Word and find out what it is that I desperately need to find peace in my home and my heart.
My solution, instead, last night, after dinner was in the oven and I was waiting for dear Hubby and son to get home, was to whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough with my adorable, lovable, loves to lick the bowl daughter. (Don't tell Daddy we lick the bowl because for
some reason he's worried about e
bola, or swine flu, or something bad for you)
We decided to bake half of the dough, and keep the rest of it in the fridge for later batches,
(or late night snacks for mom)Of course, considering the above mentioned week that I've been having, I had to leave the house as soon as the rest of the family got home, so I didn't get any dinner, or cookies, or peace until much later. But later it did come, later that night when I'm sitting on the couch watching Jay Leno and eating cookies for dinner.
It wasn't perfect, no human attempt is, but I'm telling you now, there aren't any more cookies and I had a much better day today.
Yeah, he's adorable, and he's mine. He loves to read, he's mostly quiet, and he would rather be behind the camera than in front of it. Today, however, my normally camera shy boy was more than willing to let me take pictures of him.
Princess Pea, on the other hand....
