October 9. A very warm night. Still rainy and very humid this morning. In the mid-seventies already when we got up this morning. Daddy called the PNG embassy in Washington today to see if there was any word on our visa, but nobody answered the phone. Come to find out a little later that today is a holiday — Columbus Day. First order of business this morning (after quiet time and breakfast) was to get journal notes ready for Connie. Then I spent extra time changing the color and size of my pointer and size of cursor so I can see them better. And we all searched to find out how to change the background color behind document pages because the background was so light, I could hardly distinguish the edge of the page from the background. The only choices were white, black, and dark gray besides the setting that it was on, which was called “colorful”, but there was nothing colorful about it. It was just white like the page. So I chose dark gray which, along with the change in pointer and cursor, makes everything much clearer and easier to work with. The second half of the morning, I made my weekly soup and made a jug full of senna/reishi/chamomile tea. Then I answered Pat’s text messages that came yesterday. And last for the morning, I started on a pastor appreciation card so I could make cards for each of our pastors. It took most of the afternoon to finish the four cards, but it was fun making them. This evening I called a lady I had met at WalMart quite a few weeks back and we had talked about going to Trader Joe’s. Since we are planning to go tomorrow, I called to see if she would like to go. She was hoping to go, but her daughter reminded her that she is to start on a new medication tomorrow and didn’t think she should go. She is going to be having foot surgery later this month so she asked me to pray for her and also to remember to call her next time we go to TJ’s. Then Cilla called this evening, and we chatted for quite a while. She said she is doing a lot better, but Brittney has started having some trouble with allergic reactions to something. She will be going to an allergy specialist for some tests. “Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.” Psalm 32:11 Those of us who are righteous and upright in heart are commanded to be glad, to rejoice, to shout for joy. October 10. Very warm and muggy today. The day began with quiet time, breakfast and doing laundry. Then I had to make the TJ shopping list since I had forgotten to do that yesterday. Gather stuff together to take in the car and head for Charlotte around 9:30. The highway was very busy today and lots of crazy drivers. We are thankful to the Lord for safety to Charlotte and back. Made use of the time along the road by praying and crocheting. It didn’t take us long to finish our shopping at TJ’s. On the way home we stopped at Neighborhood Market WalMart and Ingles in Kings Mountain. It was about 1:00 when we finally got home, and 2:00 by the time we finished putting away food, eating lunch, and then going for nap. After a nice restful nap, I made a pineapple crisp with the fresh (well, not too fresh anymore) pineapple that C&C had bought and cut up a couple weeks ago. It still smelled good so would do for a yummy crisp. Tasted good too, with yogurt and pecan pieces on top. The rest of the afternoon, I worked on ladies’ lessons. And there was quite a mountain of dishes to do this evening. A few extra kitchen utensils since Daddy accidentally knocked the vase on the floor that held a bunch of large utensils. The vase smashed to smithereens and all the utensils had to be washed. Relaxed and crocheted some more before bed. Daddy called the embassy again today, but they do not have any paper work for us yet. “And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.” II Chronicles 31:21 We can learn from Hezekiah that every work of service that we do for the Lord should be done with all our heart in order for us to prosper.
