Today I woke up and got ready before the rest of the house was stirring, so I went to the kitchen with my Bible, made myself a cup of tea and at a banana with peanut butter while I read my Bible (the end of John 21). I had actually forgotten it was Sunday and was so thankful the Lord woke me up early so I could have some quiet time with Him. I was struck by verses 21-22 when Jesus is telling Peter how his death will glorify God.
“When Peter saw him (the disciple whom Jesus loved), he said to Jesus, ‘Lord, what about this man?’ Jesus said to him, ‘If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!’”
What a great reminder for me. YOU FOLLOW ME! Don’t worry about who might be watching, don’t worry about what other’s may think, don’t worry about other people and how they are (or aren’t) following the Lord…YOU FOLLOW ME!
After the rest of the family got up, we headed to Berlin to pick up Nancy’s parents and then headed to a friend's house. They live on a hill overlooking a lake. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to take any pictures until it was dark. L
We arrived at the house and didn’t eat for several hours. By then, we were all really hungry. We ate goose, potato balls and gravy, and red cabbage. I filled up on the goose.
After dinner we watched Caroline, the Halloween movie (3D) in German with English subtitles. It was actually kind of scary; very dark and sadistic. Then we played a couple Halloween board games then started watching a concert of older artists. The girls and I sat on the couch pretending to play instruments, tickling Gloria, and hitting each other with the pillow.
Gloria loves riding on my back, so I give her piggy-back rides all the time now. In the car on the way back to Berlin, Gloria and I played a game. She said something in English then I had to say it in German. They were simple sentences, but I still got to practice a little bit. We played the staring game and then a laughing game. If you laughed, you were out. I was tired enough that nothing was funny, so I won every time! J
