It's Sunday again. I normally enjoy Sunday's, but today I am irritable. I think I figured out what is wrong with me (okay you guys close your ears!) I think I have PMS. I was looking at the symptoms and yep that's me to a "T". Grumpy, angry at nothing, headaches, muscle and joint aches. I thought I had the flu, but nah.....okay, enough personal stuff. LOL!
I have children's church during August. We start the worship service by singing, and right as the sermon is set to start I exit the room, and the kids follow me, quietly. We have a small lesson in the foyer of the building, for about 30 minutes.
I have been printing bible lessons with the scripture verse, memory verse, color page and a word find off the internet at http://www.calvarychapel.com/. Today's lesson was on John the Baptist. Last week's memory verse was Luke 2:52 "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." My daughter Lauren, and niece Leighann were able to say the verse to me, so I let them pick a prize from my bag.
Normally, we have a book that the church purchased to do children's church, but no one has given it to me yet, so I am doing my own. I am working on the kids looking up the scripture references, taking turns reading the scripture (which they were shocked about) and working on a memory verse this week. The one for this next week is Luke 3:3. I purchase fancy pencils, little notebooks, small dry erase boards and a bunch of little trinkets at the Dollar Tree, hoping to give some incentive to learn the verses.
Decided to clean up today, so that I could do laundry and run into town tomorrow. Finished cleaning up a little for today......and getting ready to make some laundry soap. I really want to take a nap, but can't do that with the kids running around.
Took an inventory of my food storage, and am very dissappointed. I have a LONG way to go before I get a year's worth of food on hand. I have about 21 lbs of flour, which equates to 10 days worth of flour, I guess if I was baking everyday and only used 2.11 lbs a day. The amount recommended for a family of 5 is 773 lbs of flour or wheat for a year. So you can see I have a long way to go.
