This morning I made scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast after the girls left for school. I was working on my computer and straightening my hair and somehow I forgot to plug my computer back in so it shut off on me. I thought my computer had stopped working, went kaput on me, so I was praying really hard! Then I saw it wasn’t plugged in and figured out the battery had just run dry. Silly me! I’m so thankful my computer still works!
I ironed a bit while Nancy worked in the office. We then headed to the mall. We ate lunch at the Chinese restaurant again, but I tried something different. We purchased some birthday presents for Gloria. We did some clothes shopping and then picked up the girls at the gym. When we got home, I finished up ironing while Nancy and the girls made dinner: fried turkey, French fries, and peas.
After dinner, Gloria and I played checkers. I won.
I’m reading through Daniel before I go to bed and was struck by 3:18: “But if not (if God doesn’t deliver us from the fiery furnace), be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” It hit me how easily I can allow things to become more important than my relationship with the Lord; idols (or mini gods) that draw my attention and affections from my Savior. I want to be like Daniel: perfectly content and secure in the Lord that no matter the outcome I can still say, "I will worship You only!"
Random thoughts: The Germans believe in luck. For example, hunters won’t shoot a white deer because it will bring bad luck; they don't say "Happy Birthday" the day before someone's birthday because it will bring bad luck.
