Keeping It Short

 Happy Sabbath

God is good all the time.  I had a great day at church.  I invited my family to come out and they texted me saying the would not be making it out but they surprised me in the middle of the service.  I had invited them because we were having our Thanksgiving celebration today and my son baked a whole lot of cookies for the feast.  They came and stayed for the service but didn't pick up any food items. My son spent 3-4 hours yesterday baking batches of his butter cookies which people who previously visited my house raved about.  It was good to see him helping with setting up the dining area and participating in this way.  The police department and fire department came out to the celebration and I saw faces I haven't seen in a while which was great.  My mom and sister came and were able to get spiritually fed and that is what is most important.  I didn't mess up too much on the piano and overall, it was a great time.  God was with me for my meetings this week.  I am looking forward to the short work week next week and charging through all the meetings I scheduled for December to get to those 2-3 weeks of off time through the new year.  I've started a fasting regimen that is helping to control my blood sugar and correct some other issues I have.  I am focusing on fixing my iron levels, vitamin D, improving thyroid function and other things.  I'm fitting in my clothes better and improving my range of motion.  My son wants to go to the gym tomorrow so I can take him...but I could also take him at sunset.  Yes, I may just do that.  If we go this evening, I can relax tomorrow which I would prefer to do.  I have no complaints.  My family came to church.  My son did an awesome job baking those delicious cookies and I am feeling and looking better as a result of changing my diet and lifestyle.  God is good.
