"I wonder, if Jesus were to choose a place where you and He could meet, a private place where you would be able to have a singular focus on Him, might He choose your unique place of personal suffering, the place of your deepest need, where no one else can go? Somewhere you feel so lonely that you must truly be all alone but you aren't quite, a place to which perhaps only He has travelled but actually has already prepared to meet you there when you arrive? If you are waiting for Him to come, might He already be there and within reach?"

As I was buying tomatoes today I thought of Lola. She LOVES tomatoes!

A little storm swept through this area today. It snowed before 8 this morning and after 8 the sun was shining. Part of the day we were on the edge of the storm and the other part we were right in the middle. 

James and I went town today. We had coupons from KFC so we stopped for lunch. I got the 3 chicken strips and James got the 2 chicken sandwiches. The chicken was pretty flavorless and had too much crispy crust. We were both disappointed and neither of us ate much. 

We stopped for gas at Circle K and then across to Walmart for grocery shopping. For the first time in awhile I planned menus for 8 meals I am preparing this week and in to next week. I had a detailed, organized grocery list and away I went.

I ran into Cyndi Pronger in the produce department. Jesse, Cyndi's daughter, is on a mission in the Independence, Missouri mission. Cyndi said she was a little nervous because she just got  transferred to Lebanon, Kansas, along with a new companion. She said she doesn't like change so this is good for her. She loves her mission.

Here is a list of the meals I am preparing this week:
Weight Watcher 0 points veggie soup, meatloaf and baked potatoes with green beans, chicken tacos, homemade pizza, Enchiritos, beans, cabbage salad, and bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwiches.

James was excited to get his fudge brownie non-dairy Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

This evening for dinner I made the WW veggie soup. Deliciously simple with no points. A perfect dinner along with garlic knots for dipping.

Tom was so excited to finally get his treats. He has been missing them the past couple of days.

Notes & Quotes

"I am focused on my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know when I ignore the distractions of the world, I can experience joy in every circumstance, even moments of trial and suffering. I trust that joy is waiting when I look to Him."

What do you do on a cold, snowy day?
If you are Tom, you sleep!
Not much snow, but it's a start
