I am thankful for them all!

For awhile now my wrist has been giving me trouble (carpal tunnel) and my fingers have been so flared up.  So even though I could go beyond my 30 hours, I am taking a rest from letter writing for the rest of the month.  Plus I have been typing a lot for emails and my blog, so I need to let up a bit on this as well.  I'm hoping the last few days of the month will be enough of a rest, plus, my service time will be decreased, so I won't be pushing it so hard.  wow, my fingers hurt today.  The red lines across my fingernails are really bright today.  Plus, I have a headache in my left eye.  IDK why... but it sure hurts.

EO and i talked quite a bit last night.  He just needed to just get things into perspective.  He is just so worried about his parents.  We are all over the big hurdle...the surgery.  And being able to see his mom more comfortable and his dad feeling better as the meds build up in his system enough to help balance his emotions, EO was ready to laugh.  And he laughed!

We were watching some old episodes of Dancing with the Stars (I have most of the seasons)  And something just struck EO funny, and he started to laugh, and then the two of us just got silly.  It wasn't even funny, and i said that it wasn't funny, but it just made him laugh even harder, we laughed so hard that we couldn't hardly breath.  Between extreme fatigue, stress and anxiety, it was just time for him to release that.  He is a much happier camper today.  

He is off to get his dad and head up to see his mom today.  Steph had to open the coffee shop today, and then she gets off work at 1:30, and she will head up to Duluth and will stay the night with Carol.  Lauren is home with me today, for awhile, then she goes to work at my moms.  Colton is gone to work, plus he has a class today as well...(I think).

Even though EO was super tired last night, we did do family worship.  We are all really liking our new book.   I just get excited to study it, what EO & I both have noticed is, how in this book it is constantly bringing out points that we just have never thought of before.  Like how the Cherubs who guarded the entrance to Eden never left their post.  Their loyalty to serve Jehovah by obediently keeping their post, day after day, year after year, decade after decade... Able was able to learn from their loyalty to Jehovah.  But then those cherubs were able to watch Able and his siblings grow up.  I know I would have been curious to see the cherubs and that flaming blade time and again.  I would have pondered how Jehovah keeps his word, no one was to ever enter back into Eden, and no one did.  So we have been having nice discussions about it.
