Pictures tomorrow of the house. I have a raging cold and can't decide which part of my body hurts more. I have two days to get well before company arrives for Christmas. My son has busted his hands and body trying to complete all the work here at the house. If and when we sell, he definitely deserves part of the money made on the house. He has been unswerving and totally focused every day...8 days a week. He does his substitute training for Northwest ISD on Tuesday and we are praying a full time teaching position will follow. Pray with me for this please.

The house. Well yesterday Ron plastered the walls in the bathroom where it took us literally three days to get the paper off the walls. Morgan used JASCO and removed turquoise paint from the buffet and we found all sorts of neat designs in colored tiles. I have to figure out what color to paint the cabinets. They were originally brown wood and the last owner painted them off white. Today the guys will paint the closet in the dining room and finish up the paint in the kitchen. Have to decide about the tile in the kitchen next. The stove comes on Monday and that really should be done most of the way. there will be wall gap between the range and the ventahood.

I played my harp this morning. I played my harp on the beautiful stand that Charlene sent me for a house warming gift. I played my harp for an hour even with my head stuffed and spinning. I felt so calm and relaxed and just played until my fingers were sore. It has been ten days since I played. I truly miss it. The new harp stand she sent works absolutely BEAUTIFULLY with the harp stool. It could not be more perfect in any way...only my playing has room for improvement.

Room for improvement. As we enter this third week in advent, what do you have in your life that has room for improvement? Yesterday I challenged you to weed through parts of your life discarding or sharing/passing on to others things that were idle or wasting in your life. Today I ask you to look for things to improve on. Is it your attitude, your actions, your giving, your forgiving? We all have room for improvement.

Shalom,
Laurie
