Yesterday was a bad day. Keith has been a bit sick and when he is sick he is a bit of a whiner.. Anyway, it wasn't a great day. I definitely was grateful when the day ended. Today has been much better. Keith is still under the weather, but he is much more amiable.
As to our resolutions for the year, I haven't been doing great. But, I'm getting ideas as to how to change our diet by tweaking dinners, and I'm thinking more of spiritual things, and I'm paying better attention to blessings and the things I have as I know I"m going to have to write about it later. My brain is preparing...which is half the battle, so I'm getting there. James is really gungho, so, Keith and I need to reciprocate so that James doesn't lose his fire, as he needs to change just as much as Keith and I do.
Today's scriptural thought:
"But behold, the Nephites were not slow to remember the Lord their God in this their time of affliction. They could not be taken in their snares." Alma 55:31
This is just a good reminder that if we are remembering the Lord, doing the things that we ought to do, we will never be taken in the the snares of Satan. It is hard sometimes to always be reading or praying or keeping the commandments, especially in times of trail or challenge, but it is at those times that it is the most important. That is when we are vulnerable to doubt or blame or dark thoughts. Yet, if we are remembering and calling upon the Lord, He will help us to overcome those feelings.
Today I am grateful for Lazy Days. Today was a very lazy, good day. Keith was still too sick to go to work, so we watched tv together, ate meals together, etc. We stayed in our pajamas until noon, and neither of us really fully dressed for the day. It was just nice to take it easy.
