Well as usual I think we could have done better this lent. I do think we succeeded in teaching our children that sacrifice should be a habit, in small ways everyday die to your self and tell your flesh "No thanks, God is in control here"
I have been sick for 2 weeks, I am now at the tale end of a horrible cold. With just a tickle and cough left. It's been a long time since the Momma of the house has been sick to the point I was in bed for 2 days. I feel like it will be a month before I catch up with the house work and school missed.
Deep breath and, Ahhhh, Easter...Pascha... Christ is risen! Indeed he has risen! We spent the day once again at St. Basil the Great eating and drinking with our church family. I love it. Truly my favorite day of the year.
I left Facebook behind for lent and I can't say I am all that ready to pick it back up. It opened up more time for reading good books and prayer. I am better with out Facebook in my life.
I am watching a rousing game of UNO among my children and a friend of theirs, super funny.
Yesterday we had a guy come to install cable Internet in our house. He was here for 6 hours, told me his life story, used my husband's tools, complained about his job, ate dinner with us, in the end decided he may want to come back to the Catholic church. Ha, well I feel like it was such a weird experience. I am praying for him today. When sweet hubby saw the terrible job the guy did and heard my stories of our day he is calling the company to complain... I am hopeful that God will still work for the Good of that strange man. That's all I have to say about that.
