I have been especially missing Mom Hope. I think it is the time of year and things I know she would enjoy. When she would come I would get to go shopping just because. I am not really a shopper but I loved that she would love everything. To go to the mall out to lunch. To Michael's Hobby shop. She just could walk in there forever. To pick out things would take her forever to make a decission. I never minded, found it relaxing really.
I got to go to the gym and then got dressed early to go and sit and hold the little Jude downthe street. He is just gorgeous, can't believe mine were ever that small. Started work and it has been a whirl wind I am not done yet. Have a 4:00. I am then going to go to dinner with her and then go to a openhouse net working type thing. I hope to paass out my cards and generate business.
Michael and Brandons business is now official "Hope Indoor/Outdoor Solutions. LLC," I am so proud of the way they are going about it. They met with their lawyer today and are still meeting with counselor. Evne though they are mine I can say I think they are the hardest working guys I know. Now if they can appreciate theri differences. They could really complement each other.
If you know any athletes, trainers or just someone who could bennefit from learning mind discipline,m easy steps. Give them the book "10 Minute Toughness" by Jason Selk It is a good book and has just come out.
I would love for you to pray for Samuel who will be going on a youth grief retreat on the 5th, 6th and 7th. I know he is absolutely hating to go. I pray he can get some good from it and enjoy his time. 10 get to go and there are 4 adults. It is with Annies Hope. A non profit organization. I am so grateful for groups that help like this one.
Jo and Don Shnell came by last night on their way to kids. It was good to see how awesome she is doing. A great attitude. It was encouraging how she said Mike helped to fight her cancer. She has made a decission to be joyful in the midst of suffering.
That is what our bible study is about. Philippians is a great book on the subject. I love where it talks of Think about these things, whatever is pure whatever is just whatever is lovely....then the God of peace. I didn't look it up so it is really paraphrased. It is so good to read. The do not be anxious about anything but in everything present your request to God.
Megan and I talked this am about how easy it is to get in the mind of oh know what is going to happen next. You know there will be something that is just life. Nut do we just wait and worry. It is easy to let your mind go there.
I hope you are getting excited to be with loved ones and family for the Thanksgiving holiday. I am so grateful for my memories. They are not haunting for today. But pleasant. Hug kiss all you love.
