Once home from Mass and brunch, I started work on the totes. They are now completed and filled with projects to be done this month, or worked on over the next few months. I plan on getting the other two I have started done over the next few days. They will be filled with projects to work on as well.
Lists were made for tasks next week, the grocery list started (may go shopping a bit earlier than planned as the weather is not supposed to be very nice later in the week), changed the set up of the monitor and my laptop on the desk so things are a bit easier, and started my knitting project after the totes were completed.
This 3rd Sunday of Lent we were given some challenges by our priest. Two will be fairly easily done, the third will take some planning. Meditating and giving to the poor or disadvantaged are two challenges I find very interesting and easily done. The third will be tougher. I am an introvert and discussing my faith, sharing it with others, reaching out to those who have fallen by the wayside is very hard for me. I shall need to push myself for this last challenge, or find a way of doing so that isn't one of reaching out in such a personal way. Perhaps just living my faith in the presence of others would fulfill this challenge.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
The best way to share your faith is to be a living example.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you in the not sleeping and I suspect a lot of it could be because of what's going on in the world around us. As for the third challenge - I think you're meeting it with your faith you show on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI understand the not sleeping well with the pain. I’m getting some Tylenol PM a today to help me sleep since my surgery pain keeps me up. I did that on my last surgery and it helped. I’m only buying a bottle of 24 and hopefully won’t need more after that.
ReplyDeleteI was talking to my brother about his faith and he ended up going to church the next day, which made me feel good. It isn’t always an easy thing to do. I think living your faith in their presence is always a good thing.
You are such a busy lady, always making items, I should put my reading book down more often.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have periods of very bad sleep. It is quite exhausting. I've had a couple of vivid dreams lately too, but have managed to get back to sleep after waking up. I hope you get some better sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you - I slept (or didn't sleep) very badly last night and, when I did nod off, the dreams were vivid. It leaves us feeling very drained, doesn't it? xx
ReplyDeleteHope you had a restful night.
ReplyDeleteMay your week be blessed.
Living your faith makes more of an impression (on me at least), than those who profess their faith in words but not in the way they live. If i remember correctly there is a Bible verse about the hypocrites who loudly proclaim their faith and try to convert others without acting in good faith.
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to get your sleep. You've got projects to do! :)
Oh, I know all about that pain in your hips. Right now, it is my shoulders. But I feel for you! Would a heating pad help?
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read about the pain in your hips, no wonder that is making it difficult to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon Jackie! I always enjoy seeing your projects. I look forward to seeing your totes. Personally, I feel that people are more easily drawn to God through our actions (the way we live) than our words. I wish you well with your church challenges.
