Prep Day

Monday is our prep day for the restaurant.  I'm so thankful we realized we needed a day to prepare.  I do the big grocery shopping and some of the cooking and cleaning.  Victor works in the yard, clean, sets tables and decorates.

All of this is important and must be done, but the most important thing I get to do on prep day is Bible study and our Gathering of Gratitude.  By filling up on God's word and offering up thanks to Him, we prepare for whatever the week brings our way.

What a joy it is to feed on the Bread of Life before we begin to feed His sheep.

Jesus said:  "If you continue in My word,
                    then you are truly disciples of Mine;
                    and you will know the truth,
                    and the truth will make you free."
                                                - John 8:31-32

1.  wisteria
2.  tenderly answered prayer
3.  a bracelet and a rainbow, signs (gifts) of God's love for a grieving mother

Day 16 note of thanks to friend who leads Bible study.

Thank you, Lord, for your word.  Thank you, Lord, for you.
"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."  John 1:14
