After school today, I went over to the McCloud house. I love the time I get to spend with this sweet family. I'm trying to start a tradition of random cooking lessons with Jen. It usually gives lots of laughs, and we all know, I enjoy a good laugh. We made salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, and cabbage. It all turned out delicious, but it was quite an elaborate dinner to prepare. Jen's steaks almost fell apart; I (sorta) broke the awesome lid to the mashed potato pot; I threw an onion on the ground while stirring. It was comical. Funny thing is, she was "teaching" me how to make this dish and had never actually made it herself. While waiting for this dinner to magically turn into something you would see on television, we talked about studying the Word. It was such an encouraging time. I kept saying, "thank you for saying that" or "that's encouraging to hear"...which she would reply with, "i don't know what i said, but i'm glad it helped!" I am so thankful for her and our long drawn out cooking time. I'm thankful for the Spirit, how he lives inside of us. Thankful for the lady that taught me how to make salisbury steak and read the bible with joy...maybe not at the same time, though.
Another story from tonight, just so I can read this again one day and hopefully laugh at myself like I did tonight. I put mashed potatoes and cabbage on my plate. Then, I put cabbage on someone else's plate, AND on my plate again. Once I sat my plate down and realized what I had done, I couldn't stop from laughing. They probably think I am a crazy person. Just call me cabbage girl. (I returned one pile of cabbage back to the pot, and traded it for that yummy salisbury steak we worked so hard on.)
Another story....I told Maggie the reason that the mashed potatoes were so good was because of how well she washed them. She totally believed me. She's so fun.
Another story... Jack gave me a hug tonight. THIS IS SUCH WONDERFUL NEWS!!!
I like the way Courtlynd writes.
She doesn't do it very much though, so don't get too excited.
I went back and read this post from her again tonight.
It still convicts and encourages me.
