A Nice Day

 Happy Sabbath,

I'm a bit late getting on here.  I am having a nice day today and spent some time talking to my son which is always nice.  The week was good.  We were looking through some photos and talking about good times in the past few years.  He was so surprised I have so many photos of him.  That boy is my world man.  I have to find a way to save or print the photos so I don't end up losing more of them.  I had started a portrait of my son which is hanging on the living room wall and I have a bad habit of stopping and not finishing my art.  I think I will take the image I wanted to paint and print that large at a Staples and save the sketch for a frame above my bed in my room.  It is an image of my son sleeping while at church.  He must have been about 3 or 4 years old and absolutely adorable.  I would love to have that photo in my living room blown up but have to check the cost on it.  Or I could just suck it up and paint a masterpiece that won't cost me anything but will be worth more than any print I can get from a box store.  

Something to think about for tomorrow.  

I had a good Sabbath at church.  I also had a good week.  I prayed for the Lord's help with some difficult meetings I had and God helped me through them.  I sensed when certain people would attempt an attack and I was ready for them.  I thank God for that.  Things are getting harder but I know I can get through anything with Jesus leading me.  I have managed to save my first $1000 towards getting a new car.  I have alot of savings goals floating around and monies moving from this or that account.  I have avoided having to purchase groceries for some weeks now and am getting by with what I have in my pantries.  I am building my son's portfolio and getting my stuff together and it feels good to be in this position.  I don't need to go out and buy new clothing. I can shop my closet and find great clothing I have not worn in years.  I do not need to buy all these food items.  I have plenty in my store house and am glad I moved like Joseph back when they were warned of famines.  I have had some delicious and nutritious meals prepared in my kitchen as a result of the things I have saved up over the years for emergencies.  My bills are reasonable and often low.  I have just what I need.  I will not live this year like 2021 where I practically threw money out the window at any and all things I wanted.  I will not live like 2022 where I frequently treated myself to expensive food purchases I didn't need all the while saving for other things.  This year is not a year of fun.  I don't know how long I will have this part time job or any other job so I have to make each month, each paycheck count and that is exactly what I'm doing for 2023. 

I'm going to get off of here and talk with my son but I hope that you are having a nice day today.  I hope that you are having a great time with your family and getting enough private time with the Lord to renew your mind, your energy, and refocus you on your path to health, success, and everlasting life.  May the Lord be with you.  Happy Sabbath :)
