PRAISE THE LORD!!! BEAUTIFUL SPRING LIKE DAY. Knowing a head of time I wanted to get out in the 70 degree weather with blue skies and little wind I'll take a drive across the PRAIRIE and marvel at it's beauty. I will load the car with things from the CARRIAGE HOUSE and drive them over to GOODWILL to donate. I get the best sensation of goodwill in my soul when I donate to CHARITY/THRIFT. Much given away and more to do.
This change of HEART with downsizing to fit into our small COTTAGE is like being a different person that finally morphed personalities for becoming a better person. A cleansing of sorts. A baptism of wholeness. Turning loose of things that needed turned loose of is like getting in the water. The water is fine!!! The fear factor lowers it's head as I stomp on it.
Makes sense.
THEN I'll return HOME to collect a few boxes of KITCHEN STAPLES and drive them across the river to the COTTAGE to load some cabinets. I'll polish the sink cabinets and admire the wood how nice it shines. THEN I'll load some more things from the COTTAGE to donate to charity and depending on how tired I am, I'll either drive these donations to GOODWILL today or wait until MONDAY. Another sweet BLESSING to release more goodies to them.
SUPPER will probably be another famous salad to dine on. Breakfast this morning was a whole avocado turned into guacamole served on Killer Dave's Toast. Delicious, nutritious and filling. Satisfying. Not sure about our LUNCH yet. A Pot Roast will come out of the freezer and be crock-pot fixed during the week to nourish us as we busily work on the COTTAGE and downsizing. Carrots, potatoes and onions will be added and cooked slowly all day.
The week to come does have a medical appointment in it for Hubby's eye check. He had emergency eye surgery nearly a year ago. Dry eye has been a problem. Very uncomfortable for him. While we're near a large SuperMarket in Topeka, I'll make the best of it and purchase some organic fruits and vegetables. Also check out GOD's STOREHOUSE just for grins. Simple pleasures.
TODAY's church service will be HOME DEVOTIONALS and prayer time. Lord forgive me, but I won't be going to a brick and mortar church building for awhile as we are in between churches sort of speak. CHURCH in the SPRING, I pray.
I know of one Church I will visit for SUNDAY SERVICES soon. I'm planning on attending a small LADIES' BIBLE STUDY soon. Very informal where I do not have to wear a dress and adorn myself with pearls. A TIME OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH without the Broadway Production theme where a teacher struts about on a stage making animated comments that are highlighted with stage lights and smoke. I've been to a few in my day. There will be no loud music or infrasonic sound bombarding the audience manipulating a feel good moment to give to the offering plate. The move of God I will feel will be the sweet Holy Spirit from within. Quietly, I will bow my head and pray spending time in silence listening to that still small voice of God.
