February 23. Felt very tired today by the time we finished hanging up the laundry the second time.
Heard a little rain during the night last night, but not much. It was very cloudy most of the day today. People came late for lotu so it was late before we got done. Matthew talked more on love. There weren’t a whole lot of prayer requests, but it was some time after 8:30 before lotu finished. Daddy went and started the generator almost right away. I swept the bedroom floor while the first load of clothes was agitating. It hadn’t been swept for two or three weeks and was in dire need. I was glad to be feeling well enough to do that today. In between the other loads, I worked on Bible lesson plans for this coming week. I was thankful for Daddy’s help hanging out clothes again.
It was getting close to 10:30 before we got done and were ready to call Christy and Connie. It was good to sit down and rest and chat for a while. After that, I worked a little more on lesson plans and was going to the kitchen to start mixing bread when we decided we had better get the clothes in. No, they weren’t dry, but rain was on its way. So we brought them all in and hung them up - again - some in the bedroom and some in the bathroom. Then I started making the bread while our dinner was warming.
Nap was very welcome. After nap, the bread was ready to be baked. I also cut up a popo that was not very good and cooked it. Half of it was made into crisp for Daddy, and the other half will be for my pancakes this week. Most of the rest of the afternoon was spent working on next week’s lesson plans. I did rinse and spray the bathtub so Daddy could wipe it out and it would be clean for our bath. We didn’t know if we were going to get to have a bath tonight as the water was quite dirty from the heavy rain the other night. We are thankful that the water cleared up by this afternoon so we can have our baths. Daddy has water on heating now for that.
After supper, I put the bagged dried peanuts away in a drum and put undried peanuts on trays to go out in the sun whenever we get sun again. Also got pancake mixes made up for tomorrow morning. Then I did the dishes before sitting down to finish lesson plans for this coming week. Am glad to have those done. Now I need to do some other preparations in the computer as well as some printing and photo copying.
“13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:13,14
