“Before the fiddlers have fled”*

by chuckofish

Well, it was a quiet weekend all around. It was gray and cold and rainy–the kind of weather when you feel justified in staying home and reading a Mitford book in bed. I also tidied up in anticipation of the Thanksgiving holiday. I wrapped some Christmas presents and also some birthday presents for upcoming family anniversaires. The boy stopped by to pick up some cookies I made for the wee babes.

It was a good weekend, if a quiet and uneventful one.

I have shared a lot of quotes about thankfulness over the years, but I have to say, I really like these words from straight-talkin’ John MacArthur:

“Don’t complain when you’re in bad circumstances; cultivate a heart of thankfulness instead. If you’re not a thankful person, it’s because you think you deserve better circumstances than those you currently have. But if you got what you deserved, you’d be in hell. That goes for all of us. So be thankful for whatever God gives you. That will take all the sourness out of your life.”

Now I am ready for my two-and-half-day work week. Let’s face the music and dance.
