Young Scribes and Joyful Thoughts

These are some notes taken for me by Hannah May, translated as best I could, with capitalization and spelling rendered as written:
"... Been Dirty Going around washing everyone's. Feet is not following His example because it is not true semce (service?) to follow Him, we need to take the place of a servant V: 14 the example of service is of washing feet is not the phyical (physical?) service and message: like a parable bathed..."

10 Joyful Thoughts:
  1. Happiness is watching my cousin Lizzie standing up in church "singing" right along with the rest of us from an upside down hymnbook.
  2. Happiness is having someone feel comfortable enough to offer you peanut butter sandwiches and ramen soup as you brew a mug of tea in the microwave. 
  3. Happiness is seeing four little girls wearing dresses I used to wear, and knowing how blessed we all are to have Christian homes.
  4. Happiness is playing a sonatina double-fast while wearing gloves. 
  5. Happiness is singing "Amazing Grace" with brethren you love. 
  6. Happiness is watching a roomful of people try to act zealous. 
  7. Happiness is finding an extra pair of black stockings tucked away in a drawer. 
  8. Happiness is holding a  newborn baby and laughing at the faces he makes. 
  9. Happiness is reading Psalms and realizing that His mercies are new every morning.
  10. Happiness is being able to count my blessings after being a bit down tonight, and realizing just how much I have to be grateful for.

  1. Happiness is knowing that you will see your peach fuzz in a few weeks!

    I'm glad you are able to count your blessings, it really is a helpful thing to do when you feel down. I have had many days like that and I just try to think about people in the Bible and draw strength from them. I know that's hard to do sometimes.

    I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. : ) I will be praying for you. I love you!

    1. THAT is definitely a happiness! I can hardly wait; hopefully we'll get to spend a bit with y'all before you head back to Missouri!

      It did help... although I didn't feel very blessed before I started. Thank you for your prayers; today has been wonderful so far!
