So far I have not succumbed to the temptation of renigging on my lent pledge. Mr. Buffalo and I have been listening to the New Testament on CD...I mean MP3. An audio deal. It has been fun. 25 minutes a day and it is entertaining.
Mr. Buffalo had an interesting thought the other day. He says that when we "fast" something for lent, we should replace it with something else, or else we are just giving up something...not necessarily using that event to get closer to God. So I was pretty happy that we were doing the 40 day read through the Bible thing. Here is the company that has the one we are using
Faith Comes By Hearing
I have been getting some things done as well...not a huge amount yet, because I have some outside non-housework related responsibilites that sometimes need attention too.
Maybe I will fast those next lent.
kidding!
I have felt really relaxed today though, and that is not my usual feeling. Just that feeling that you get when you feel like you are pointed in the right direction...it's not perfect, but at least I feel like I am making progress. Peaceful...
So today, I have worked on a song, done laundry, changed sheets on beds, played Candyland and read books with the kids...Going to review my list for a relaxed/focused Sunday and take care of those things...
Don't know how to explain it...it's like somehow I got "permission" to enjoy my family when they are home. I know that sound bizarre, but I haven't felt that in a long time.
OK, back to them...see you Monday.
