A Happy Day

Happy Sabbath,

I have had a good week and I thank God for allowing me to see today.

I went to church today and was able to hear the entire sermon without distraction.  My son was at times a little noisy, but I was able to quiet him and hear this time (not having to deal with other people’s children who with my son, make hearing impossible).

I have been doing okay at work.  I am working on saving money for my emergency fund (still praying for that house next year).  My garden is growing on my balcony and  I harvested my sweet potato leaves this week and enjoyed them with some pasta. I like to slice the sweet potatoes thin and roast them at 450 in the oven, but when my oven broke over a month ago, I had no desire to use my sweet potatoes.  Leaving them out, they started growing shoots and leaves and I wondered what would happen if I put them in some soil.  They grew as if on steroids when they touched soil and the vines threatened to take over my kitchen so I put them outside with my palm plant which initiated the who balcony garden (an attempt to save my dying palm).  Today my palm has a new gorgeous green frond and I had a gallon size? Plastic bag full of sweet potato leaves I grew.  I am continuing to grow them along with squash and other crops (tomatoes, spinach, grapes, beets, etc…) and it’s exciting.  I even had a little praying mantus come lives on my balcony. 

So I thank God that my garden is doing great.  I am praying for my son however.  He has been having some terrible fits and is becoming threatening to others, using words and phrases I know he did not get around me or my parents. He also claimed to see monsters and is afraid of sleeping in the dark.  This is nothing more than demon harassment and my family is no stranger to it.  I ask that you pray as well for my son, my family, and I so that God will get the glory and evil will not take root in our lives. 

Aside from this, it has been a great week a blessed one at that.  I have the simple nourishments and comforts I need/like and a peaceful quiet environment.  I thank Jesus for it.
