The Happy Sock

It's a good day to be happy!  It's almost the sabbath and while it's cold and gray outside, inside it's nice, warm, and cozy.  There's a large pot of soup sitting on the stove for our sabbath day meal and a nice long loaf of french bread getting ready to be put in the oven.  I still have to put a small load of clothes in the dryer and the make a fresh pot of coffee to drink too!  I just wanted to show you my sock- he's happy too!  Look at his hair (at the top of my foot), two eyes, his mustache, and I think his chin (my skin showing way at the bottom).  I think his name is Pierre! Bonjour Pierre!

I also wanted to tell you that Bluebell got adopted.  A nice older couple adopted her so I stopped volunteering at the Humane Society.  It was just too hard for me.  I wanted to adopt so many dogs and many times I came home crying because I felt so bad for them.  I'm thankful that the Lord heard my prayer for her to get adopted.  It just shows that He even cares for a little forgotten dog, sitting alone and waiting in a small kennel for someone to come and adopt her.  What a kind and gentle Lord we have.

Speaking of feeling bad, a few evenings ago, I was really depressed.  After I prayed, wrote in my journal, and prayed for others, I went to my little studio and worked on some art.  After I drew and watercolored for a couple of hours, I felt great!  I think I needed to do something creative go get my out of my funk.  Here I am, drawing and listening to Light up the Sky by the Afters.  I kept replaying it over and over.  

Hope you all have a warm, cozy, and peaceful sabbath.  Shabbat Shalom!

John 16:33 (NASB)

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
