Tough times never last, but tough people do. Robert Schuller was right about that. This last week has been a tough one for me. I've had to make some big decisions and sometimes doing the right thing is just plain hard. Sometimes I just want to tell God that I don't need any more of these character building experiences, I have enough character, thank you very much. However, I don't get to choose when and how my character develops. Sigh...this too will pass and when it does, I will emerge from it knowing that the Holy Spirit guides my actions and thoughts and that I can trust Him to work things out. For I know that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord.
Today we spent another relaxing afternoon at the beach. We went for a walk down the beach and the princess and prince brought their buckets in search of shells and other treasures. It amazes me how differently boys and girls are wired. We have such a creative God! My little boy loves sticks and rocks of all shapes and sizes, but the bigger, the better. The minute he finds a good stick or rock he won't let go of it. There are times when he will carry the same rock around with him for days on end. He even tries to sleep with it! It's hard, it's a rock for goodness' sake. He doesn't care...it's treasure to him. He found several good rocks and a great stick on the beach today. He also enjoys rolling around in the sand until every crevice of his body is covered. I just don't understand it, but then again, I'm a girl. I understand princess things...such as "making soup" or "pies" out of sand and mud, searching for the prettiest, most perfect shell. These are the activities of my little princess, who is so particular about everything she does.
Hubby just asked if we have any cookie dough on hand. We don't, but I will remedy that very soon. Just so you know, I am a dough eater. I love the stuff and can't get enough of it. I read very funny blog this morning about a lady who ran through the house "nekked" to eat "just one more bite of dough" and almost got caught by someone knocking at her door. Here is the link if you'd like a good laugh:

I laughed out loud because I could see this happening to me too!
Happy Saturday! I'm off to make cookie dough!
Nope, I don't like those lessons AT ALL either!
ReplyDeleteCan I get a "Hooah" for cookie-dough cheesecake? That is my idea of dessert heaven.
Recipe please??!! Girl, you know how I am about cheesecake. Some things never change. Remember all of those nights at Village Inn?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunatley, I don't have a recipe (yet). I had some once when we went out to eat. YUM! Don't worry, I'll keep trying to figure it out. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou must live in a nice, warm place! I long for the beach. :)
ReplyDeleteWell get on it, Kendra! I'm starting to get a craving for it.
ReplyDeleteYes, Taylor, I do live in a very warm place...Central Florida. I will be complaining about the heat in about another month when it climbs up to the 90's.
