Think on These Things

Today, I will focus on what is good and true and beautiful. I have layed my sons on the altar, prayed for them, and given them to God. Phil too. The end. I will not carry those burdens around all day. I will look to this day only. I will go through the day giving thanks.

I am excited because I think I have finished the girls' scarves! I am making scarves as Christmas gifts for a friend's fourth grade class.  I am considering making all the boys' scarves out of camo yarn, which would be incredibly easy because there would be no decisions to make.

I have also decided to stop waiting for the weather to get cooler because it's still going to be hot for the next two weeks and I have a lot of work to do outside. I need to rake the front yard to collect all the little twigs and spray Round Up and weed all the little onions out of my vinca patch. And I will need to mow again soon.

I have been feeling old, thinking more about how close I am to 60 and I am going to stop that and think instead about how everything has always said I look 10 years younger than I am. So I am going to start thinking 40's instead!


Finally, brothers, 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.  Phil. 4:8
