Jewells of Thought

Honestly, after the past few mornings yesterday was another hard day to get up. My phone alarm works so I just kept pushing the snooze button. However, my second alarm has bitten the dust. It’s the red lighted time I would see throughout the day and night for so many years until Saturday.

Anyhow, once I did get up it was still early enough that it stunned me to see my niece message me about church. It’s been months maybe even 6 long months since she has texted me asking me about going to church. It was before 8 am even; which is why it stunned me.

Otherwise if that text had not happened the morning would have been much different. I had gone to bed and awakened with the idea I would go to my Grandma’s church for Sunday Service. However, my niece had heard about the new baby and I figured that was also a big part of the reason she wanted to come with me. So I knew I had to change my plans once again.

We had some time together before church started so not only did she get to finish the sausage gravy she ate up a biscuit with it. Then I put the color of eye shadow on her that she wanted and for a while we just sat together for a few minutes enjoying a dog movie before driving to church.

She enjoyed Children’s Church and then once we got home she was a big help in the kitchen. She helped me make dinner. Not only did she make the sweet tea and Grandma’s unsweet tea she cut up and seasoned the fried potatoes. She loves being an assistant, but she’s about to take my job as chef.

It did my heart good even still, when she had some time with our cousin over at Grandma’s in the afternoon. Talk about a good day… it was a very sweet day.
