Nice Weekend

I really should be working on a paper and presentation that is due this week but.....I love to procrastinate and I just wanted to share a few thoughts about the weekend.

First, my dh and I were invited to a wedding of our friend's daughter. We met these friends through marria.ge communit.y in our area (if you are "encountered" then you know what I am referring too). Anyway, we did not go to the wedding ceremony (I know, I'm bad.). We did go to the reception which was very nice but it was what the father of the bride said that touched us. He went on about how his daughter always was led by the Will of God. He stated that "When you live your life according to God's Will...lots of good things will happen. That is how it has been for my wife and I and now it will be that way for my daughter and her new husband." I don't know...how he said that was just amazing. That statement touched me. It's true....good things do happen when you follow God's will in life. I know, for me, IF has clouded that notion in so many ways....but I do know good things will come because of the sacrifices I've had to make and suffering I've had to and continue to endure for the Will of God. No matter how much I try..I can't see into the future....I just have live day by day with blind trust that all will be okay because I really do try to Live God's Will and so does my dh.

Yesterday, for Father's day...we had my parents over for a late lunch. It was really nice (we have tons of food leftover). My brother and his children were suppose to come but they didn't. My brother's children are no longer coming to their visitations all because my brother and his ex do not get along. It's a long story and mind you...they've been divorced 11 years! For crying out loud....get over it people!!! So, I'm not sure how much I will see my niece and nephew anymore. I was going to give my nephew his gift since he just graduated from high school and will be going to college in the fall....but I guess I can't do that. I won't send it to my ex sister in laws house. God only knows what would happen it to it and besides...not only did my nephew blow off his father...he blew my dh and I off and his grandparents. I think he's selfish and since he's always taken his mother's side....he's choosing to miss out on this side of the family. He'll be 18 in Aug...He's old enough to make his own decisions and drive to our house if he wanted to that. I do pray for them. All of them....And the sad part...I have another brother going through a divorce now. His is going to be so much worse. God help them.

I hope you all had a good weekend.....God Bless.
