Today's Good Things:
Lovely morning opening gifts with our family
Made wise choices for dinner, avoiding the unhealthy carbs.
Controlled myself to take one small bite of "petz" which had enough sugar in it to last. ;)
Enjoyed a mid-morning nap
Today's Not So Good Things:
Still not getting my exercise in
House is pretty trashed, but I'm letting it be okay.
I feel pretty good about how my day went today. I did well with my choices at dinner at my il's as well as eating at home. I haven't been keeping up with my snacks as well as I should, but I'm still working to be careful. And, I'm applauding myself for that considering we're smack in the middle of the Season of Indulgence.
I spent my day yesterday an emotional wreck. I felt I had ruined Christmas by not working hard enough to make it special. I know I could have worked harder, but I am so grateful to the Lord for His patience with me. He is gentle and His burden is light. If only I would truly learn to carry His burden rather than the one I strap on myself. Today was a precious day with our children and again, with David's family. I believe our most meaningful Christmas Eve we've ever spent with them. I'm humbled to see the Lord continuing to work and build our lives up and closer to Him.
Tomorrow we spend our day focusing on your word. Please help me to press forward with a heart eager to serve and obey.
