This week is going to be a little different! Three of the kids are gone, Amanda is on her way to Canada this afternoon and Bailey & Emelia will be at camp all week. Emelia’s neck is better so she is heading up in a bit. So, with just me, matt & iz our menu will be a little less interesting. The meatloaf is 3 pounds so it will at least work for two night and then some. The bean recipe is also pretty big so I am thinking two nights as well. Matt doesn’t have a problem with leftovers, he actually prefers them sometimes. I have several recipes on the waiting list to try, maybe next week. I am also trying to watch it in the food area… I will post day two of the dieter’s daily devotional at the end of my menu for those who want to read it.

Here’s the entry for Day 2 in the Dieter’s daily devotional book I mentioned…
It is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. I Peter 1:16

Too often we think that holiness is merely a matter of the spirit. We feel that if we read our bible, pray regularly, and attend worship, we are being holy. But holiness requires that we tend to our physical health as well as our spiritual health. Early Christians realized they were more alert and better able to concentrate on God when they felt good. Tending to the body made them better at their spiritual pursuits. Dieting may make us look better, but it will also make us feel better, and it will enable us to pursue God in a deeper and more meaningful ways.

Todays thought: We please God when we try to be the best we can be.

Come back tomorrow for time travel tuesday… we will travel back to a favorite or memorable vacation!
