WORSHIP SONG:

Back in His Arms Again - Mark Schultz

5 GRATITUDES (Thank you, Heavenly Papa!):

• Thank you God we can be here for my dad.
• Thank you God for all the calls and emails of people interested in my husband.
• Thank you God for compassion.
• Thank you God I got all my work done today.
• Thank you God for humility.

THOUGHTS:

• Wasn't planning on working out today, but since I'll be taking my dad to the doctor's on Thursday, I'm trading my workout day to today instead and resting tomorrow.  This should not be a hard workout.
• So this weekend, my husband, kids and I are going to move some things around in the house to make it easier on my dad, especially when he watches TV as well as help him with some stuff in his room, so that it would be safer for him.  Guessing this might take the whole weekend, but that's okay.
• Wow, I still can't believe the Dojo place hasn't called me.  That's really 
• Really impressed with my husband at how much he cares for my parents.  He's going to be watering my dad's yard for him over the next couple weeks to help my dad and let him rest, so he can heal.  I know it's really brave and hard for my dad to get help in this manner, as he's so used to doing all this on his own.  I'm glad he's letting us help him, as he's helped us so much during this time.  It's the least we can do.
• Very grateful that my husband loves and respects my parents.  Very different from my ex-husband.  
• Expressed to the kids' karate Master about our inability to get on the online Dojo, so he will be contacting them.  He also recommends they take the Wednesday night class since it's summer.
• Grateful my husband went to his interview without me late this afternoon and took the kids to their karate class.  It allowed me to begin to catch up on my subcon work since I had a lot of interruptions during the morning and afternoon.
