Wordle wisdom

I think the images say it all, although likely not in order. I may try to straighten it out later. For now, I just want to get it in the file. 








(Lillie-Beth Sanger Brinkman was the other who got it.)

Did it happen if I didn’t blog?

I just noticed I didn’t document the end of my initial Wordle streak at 77.  It was fairly peaceful & I picked right back up with the game. My new streak is at 9. The game is still a fun challenge, and that’s good enough for me.

Good enough, indeed!

By the grace of God, by my belief in the Risen Lord, Jesus Christ, yes, my feeble faith is good enough. It is a good foundation to grow in grace & truth & love & service. And I am grateful, this Easter Sunday & always. 

(Plus this: Found a hat & some flowers to put on it if only I knew how! I will do a quick online search. I bought a needle & some upholstery thread. I wonder if that will work? It’s 9:30 pm. Is this worth praying about? My prayer is to know whether to take time to try to figure it out. To enjoy a moment of creative opportunity & be willing to let it go if it takes too long or does not seem to be working out. I think the main thing tonight is to not be afraid to try, & to let myself enjoy the experience. FOLLOW-UP: I did seize the moment of creative opportunity & God rewarded it by letting my deepen my Easter joy!) 

(And this, added Monday: We fished Sunday afternoon & into the evening, about 3 to 7 pm. Caught some good ones. Aware of my tendency to judge whether that was an acceptable way to spend Easter afternoon. The answer to my prayerful inquiry was always yes — it is good to spend a beautiful afternoon at the lake with Gene; although I start to wonder again as I hear Gene habitually cursing God as something has gone wrong while he is mowing Monday morning. Even so, I know more may be revealed.)

Success!

I’m off to a slow start on the blog in April. I decided this social media post was worth copying here. 

Success! For many people, this would be nothing. For me today, this is victory! I could tell something broke when I flushed to toilet. I’m here by myself today. We have another bathroom. Why even bother to try to fix it? That certainly wasn’t on my to-do list today. For some reason, instead of ignore the problem, I got my trusty fix-it guy on the phone. I think I was hoping to get approval for waiting for him to come & fix it. Instead he said he would talk me through it, if I wanted to try. I said I’d like to try if I thought I could succeed. I feared I’d just get frustrated & give up. Next thing I knew, I was making the effort. And fairly quickly, at least a temporary fix was made. I am grateful. #littlesteps #stepsofprogress #iykyk #goodenough #inallthingsgivethanks
