So I thought Movember would never end, but it did and a few days earlier because even Trev couldn't stand looking the way he did. I mean just look at him!!!
Too funny. I couldn't stop laughing the whole month, but I couldn't kiss him either.
So I just read The Peacegiver again and took copious notes this time. It is like I missed 3/4 of the book last time. Talk about lessons that have to be learned.
One big one I learned and I think it has to do with the fact that have been experiencing a lot of physical pain lately is this...
When our body is causing us pain, or is in pain do we hurt it further? No, because it would only be hurting ourselves further. We dress it, succor it and nurse it back to health. We give the most love and attention to the parts that bring us the most pain. The need us the most and we realize how much we need them so we want to save it. So take this one step into the spiritual realm and apply this thought to that analogy: "We are all the body of Christ". Think about it, keep thinking. WOW!! eh? If someone is hurting us.....
So Mason here I come. You are my 'little pain' right now. Just this afternoon he got into the
Vaseline AND Zinc oxide and put little dabs everywhere, then WHILE I was cleaning that up he went into the kitchen and filled my toaster with drink crystals, THEN he peed on the floor while I shook the toaster out. I LOVE YOU BUDDY!!!!!That lesson has far deeper implications but that was my application for today.
On the weekend we had the Crook Annual Christmas Brunch. This year it was a a place near Okotoks called the Saskatoon Farm. Super cool place. It had a million things I would love to make my home look nice if only I knew they would last more than a week. We saw a bald eagle when we went to the lookout point over the frozen river.
It was nice time with the family.
The house is about as decorated as it will get this year. What peace it brings to me to have chosen not to worry about anything after the 1st. If it isn't up just put it away until next year. I got Christmas cars out this year though; hooray for that. Anyone who didn't get one it just means you haven't given me your mailing address.
