The stories behind the list:
1. I think Trissy had been unloading the dishwasher, 'cause I came in from work at the academy and there was a royal blue plastic juice glass, a bright orange plastic juice glass, and a lime green plastic lid on the cabinet. The colors were stunning together!
2. On Wednesday nights before the music group gets up to lead, we (the members of the group) go to another classroom and have prayer. This week Justice asked if he could join and speak to us, then be the one to pray. He's been so burdened for the youth group lately, and he reminded us that we do not do anything except to give God glory. When we play our instruments, when he gives the lesson, all is to be done with a heart of humility and desire to glorify the One we worship. If He is not with us, all is vain. The children of Israel despaired because the glory of God departed from them for a time - because God had hidden His face from them. We must beg the Lord to shine His face upon us, to not take away His light from our efforts, but to give us His blessing and help us honor Him.
It was so good. What he said were all things we knew, but we had needed reminding.
3. Trissy and I came in from a wedding rehearsal we were playing the piano for on Friday evening and Mom had the front light on for us. When we opened the front door, the smell that washed out to meet us was so pleasant and soothing. It was like the smells of a candle shop, a hotel, a bookstore, and a furniture store all at once!

I was ironing a shirt for Dad Saturday and Mom had me starch it too. The smell of starch is so wholesome and nice.
4. A hot ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomato. 'Nuff said.
