"Sometimes humility is accepting callings when we do not feel adequate. Sometimes humility is serving faithfully when we feel capable of a more high-profile assignment. Humble leaders have verbally and by example established that it is not where we serve but how we faithfully serve. Sometimes humility is overcoming hurt feelings when we feel that leaders or others have mistreated us."
Some notes on my studies today: What are the significant events to show the God of Abraham becoming the God of Isaac and Jacob?
*Isaac and Jacob were foreordained Personal worthiness justifies their callings in the covenant life. A covenant involves faithfulness, as well as bloodline. (2 Nephi 30:2).
James read this to me today and it made me so sad. "Capetown, Africa is having their worst drought in 100 years. Nearly 4 million people are about to run out of water." We should have included them in our fast.
There is also another tragedy in California. There were fires, then rain, and now mudslides. Will it never end?
We had a wonderful breakfast this morning of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spinach and cheese, and avocado on the side.
Yummy!
I vacuumed and dusted today and then began looking for photos to send Stacy for James's party on Saturday.
I made an unexpected trip to town today with James. He went to pickup his MRI results. I went to Walmart to get shakes, ink for the printer, a white board, onions, and lettuce. I ended up spending another $85 on top of what I spent yesterday. This is why I shouldn't make extra trips to town.
James went to Home Depot to get a new light fixture for a fan, and ended up buying a new fan.
We read from "Journey's End."
This evening we watched Heartland - "Great Expectations." James built a fire.
Taking a break while working on the broken light
fixtures on the fan.
