Mornin' Gals!! I don't know about you, but I'm especially happy this morning, knowing there's an adorable bundle of joy that's here!!
I found out a few things I'd like to share with ya:
The theme of this blog:
"I like nonsense. It wakes up the brain cells. " Dr. Seuss
Try this out on someone today:
SAY " I choose to not let that offend me."
Oh, dear friends. This is precious. I don't know if I'm easily offended or what, but I've had a chance to use this twice already this morning. The responses will tickle you.
Donnie said something that would have normally hurt my feelings (once again, I don't know if he's just especially good at this, or if I'm easily offended by him.) I said "I choose not to let that offend me." He was surprised and didn't know what to say, (and honestly looked a little upset) then, he said "well, I've been doing that all week with you." Ok, but instead of offending me it made me laugh.
Then Austin woke up in a bad mood, spouting off at the mouth and wanting me to apologize to her stuffed animal for "throwing" him off the bed when I was playing with her and fanning the covers. I said "I choose not to let you offend me this morning." She said "OH YES I WILL!!" Ok, once again, instead of getting mad, I laughed.
We all need to Phillippians 4:8 it! If you get upset about something, remember this verse. We really can choose the way we think, react and not to let things offend us!
Love ya'll!! Pray for Dottie to get better! I know this is especially hard for her not to be able to see the baby, because she's sick.
