verity83Inspirational thought for the day:
"No outward observances can take the place of simple faith and entire renunciation of self. But no man can empty himself of self. We can only consent for Christ to accomplish the work. Then the language of the soul will be, Lord, take my heart; for I cannot give it. It is Thy property. Keep it pure, for I cannot keep it for Thee. Save me in spite of myself, my weak, unchristlike self. Mold me, fashion me, raise me into a pure and holy atmosphere, where the rich current of Thy love can flow through my soul."
***
I am mightily confused that when I got up the temp was 39 according to Dashboard, and now it is 35. It didn't feel that cold when I went out on my walk - more like in the low 40s.
I did have all the heaters on for a little bit though. I'm not usually the cold one, but I sure was this morning. I couldn't believe Dan had no heater going yet downstairs when I went down there. Brr.
I'll be going to the Lebanon church this morning, both because the Oregon Adventist Men's Choir will be there and also so I can just come home afterwards while Dan stays for potluck at Albany and goes door-to-door. I can rest and get our stuff together for going to Dan's parents' place this evening. Here's hoping GooGoo will not decide to come at, say, 5 in the morning tomorrow when we're far from home.
Monday evening or Tuesday would be nice. How about it, GooGoo? I want you out.

I don't think I ever posted about the What the Baby Will Be discussion that was taking place at my shower. Susana first of all apparently can Usually Tell and is Usually Right, but when she felt my hips she said she wasn't sure.
The general consensus is that it's a boy. Out of all the many people I know, Frances, Kylie, Andrew, Ginny, and Mel are the only ones who think it will be a girl. We shall see. :-p

Date: 2009-11-14 07:19 pm (UTC)Except my Sister #2, who had longed for a daughter and got only sons, so had been just positive that I would have a girl! My parents already had enough grandsons to know better than to predict, although they were delighted to get their first granddaughter, lol.
Cold: When cold weather hit St. Louis while I was waiting for Rosie, I'd stand out in the cold to cool off -- 20+ pounds of baby acts as its own furnace!
(If GooGoo waits till December 4, he/she will share Rosie's birthday ... Just sayin'.)
*hugs and lots of blessings*
*and patience*
*and peace of mind*

It's really nice out now... not sure what the temp is but just perfect!
