Where Did This Garbage Bag Come From?

Wednesday, October 4

School - Day 35. After walking Max, I made a loaf of banana bread. I had some bananas I needed to use up. It always smells so good to bake something like banana or pumpkin bread on a fall morning. It feels a little more like summer here but we do our best. :)

My poor husband sleeping on the couch seeing if it helps his back.

I did the baking and breakfast dishes and then cleaned out the fridge and washed those dishes. Did a load of laundry and cleaned the two upstairs bathrooms. I talked to our college daughter, Addie, for about a half hour.

I then started dinner - orange chicken, egg rolls, and rice. While I was cooking dinner, I went to take out the upstairs garbage that I had collected when cleaning. I opened the garbage can in the garage and there was a large heavy-duty black bag of garbage on top! I know that wasn't something I put in there and I just couldn't imagine anyone in the family putting something like that there either. I opened it up to see what was in it. It had packaging in it with the address of a house down the street. I could see no other way but someone had come into our garage and put their garbage in my can! I called the HOA and was reporting it when the girls came out and Sierra said, I put that in there! I was so confused. Here she was out taking a bike ride and saw this bag of garbage on the side of the road and didn't want to leave it there as a good citizen so she brought it home on her bike and put it in our can! Oh my goodness!

Homemade sweet & sour sauce! Will share the recipe soon.

Some days you go to bed with the kitchen clean and some days you don't.

After dinner, I took Sierra and Summer to youth group. I went to the chiropractor and picked up a few things at Wal-Mart. We had a quick downpour. Sierra got in more drive time - she will soon be taking her drivers test!

Autumn had a Zoom meeting and we stayed up a little later talking. I had gone to sleep and thankfully I remembered my groceries in the trunk! Yikes, that was a close call. :)

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27
