Glory in Him: Dinner

Dinner

If you know my home and family, dinner can be an eventful time. Today, after having a really nice morning, I was having a good time getting dinner ready. We decided that I would not cook. We bought fresh bread and carnitas (pork) to make "tortas" for dinner. In fact, we even used disposable plates (yey! for Angie). So here I am getting the "tortas" ready. Everyone started to make their way into the kitchen (while I'm still putting the dinner together). Mom, as always, stood at the table and eyed everything and then sat down. By this time my hubby and my daughter are at the table too. Everyone was served I just needed to make mine. While I was making my torta I heard Mom say, "I can't eat like this!" (she just got dentures yesterday). I asked her, "do you want me to cut it, or..." She then says, "I'm just going to take them out!"...gasp! ugh! Before anything else could happen, she is taking her dentures out!!! My hubby and my daughter are looking down and I am rushing to get a paper towel and container to put them in. By the time I get to her, the dentures are ON THE TABLE!!! Thankfully they were in a napkin. I quietly took them and put them in her room. I sit to eat (my stomach is hurting and my jaw is so clenched I can feel a headache coming on). Okay...all is well in paradise. So what were we talking about...

Poems

From http://www.devotions.com/ (author unknown)
It’s sometimes very difficult for us to understand the wisdom and the love behind the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow if we didn’t have the rain; We wouldn’t know the pleasure if we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise if we hadn’t felt the night; And we wouldn’t know our weakness if we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime or the yellow daffodil if we hadn’t experienced the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine is something God has made. He knew too much could parch our souls so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance: enough joys to keep us glad, enough tears to keep us humble, enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see though yesterday brought sorrow, the clouds will part and dawn will bring a happier tomorrow.

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
