Monday - The Best Day of the Week!

Got up early and made 4 meals in 40 minutes! Tried out the crock pot for the second time with Marci's Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder - hope it tastes good. It's been simmering all day and can't wait to dish it up. It is dinner for the next couple days!

Josiah whipped up a mean and delicious home fries and eggs breakfast and put together pesto tortellini and veggie salad for lunch. We discovered that tortellini is quite good if you overcook the noodles in the microwave to crispiness!

On another note, the Quote of the week is:

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. His response was a question: 'Where do you want to go?' 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.'

Having direction is so important!

Lessons to learn from the wise Cheshire cat (with some help from other devos):

Believing in God's revealed truth. Driving in the dark, we rely on the car's headlights to illuminate the way we are going. In a similar way, God has promised to light the way as we proceed on our daily journey of work and living. "I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:104-105).

Trusting in God's direction. Just as we place our confidence in the direction of a GPS system, we must trust in direction God provides, even if we do not understand it. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6).
