Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping they called it Opportunity.Charles Sykes

I just baked a pumpkin pie...it smells like home...in November.  I'm kinda home sick.  I kinda would like to just spend time with my mother...I can't wait for Thanksgiving.

You would wonder, with 17 children how you can get them all so well behaved...The Duggars focus on scripture.  And they don't make it a struggle.  It is a part of their day... and they all know it and they all have a respect for it, because it was modeled to them by their parents.  I've been reading up on them and trying to learn as much as possible.  Not because I'm going to have 17 children, but even if I have two or three, I want to do well... and these people have done well. 

This is posted in their Dining room:

Always use soft words, even when you don't feel well.

Always display kind actions, even if you have been mistreated.

Show joyful attitudes even when no one else is looking.

Have sincere motives with no thought of self-gain.

Think pure thoughts.

Always give a good report of others. Never talebear unless physical harm will come to someone. Use Matthew 18.

Never raise a hand to hit.

Never raise a foot to kick.

Never raise an object to throw.

Never raise a voice to yell.

Never raise an eye to scowl.

Use one toy/activity at a time.

Never let the sun go down on your wrath. (Don't go to bed angry or guilty.)

Amendment J.O.Y. – make serving your family a priority – put Jesus first, others second, yourself last.


Good stuff.  I enjoy learning from them!  They are gentle people.  I need to learn gentleness.

I need Patience.  I need to be faithful in the things I am called to for today.  I need to stop letting my heart get too involved...because it only hurts in the end.  You'd think I would learn.

I am 100% domestic.  I find so much joy in doing things like making dinner, doing the dishes, baking good stuff, making special occasions extra special, making cakes, decorating, yes, I like doing the dishes... Making grocery lists, going grocery shopping, trying new recipes, bragging about old family recipes, having tea, wearing an apron, making a house feel like a home, having people over for dinner, making everything from scratch, doing laundry, that's right, I love doing laundry,  laughing over a cup of coffee, making sure that there is something baked, just in case someone stops by.  Well, I think you get the point.  I just wish there was more opportunity for me to use this, instead of sitting here thinking about it and writing the words and eating the sweets that are baked, when no one stops by for tea.

Currently Reading
Sex and the Supremacy of Christ
see related
I spent time with my Best Friend Kate today.  It was a blessing, as usual.  We spoke of the Supremacy of Christ.  It's so good to be reminded that I don't have to manipulate situations in life to try and make things happen the way I suppose they should... because I tend to sometimes. 

There is a lot of change that needs to occur in my life.  But there is like a war of the wills... I like to watch movies, but after I watch them I wonder what good came out of that time... and then I get mad that I wasn't reading or studying instead... but I do it again and again.... because I actually enjoy it.  I don't know... maybe I just need to be disciplined in how much time I spend on movies vs. other things. 

Thanks for listening!
Chrissy
