Parenting, memorizing, hobbling

Oy. Last night was a hard parenting night. Let's just say that by the time we got home from dinner and got everyone in bed and dried all the tears that I was exhausted and ready for bed.

So I'm feeling thankful this morning that "the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations" (Psalm 100:5). It's not dependent on me. God is so much bigger than that.

I'm off and hobbling* this morning--but wanted to be sure to have a spot for you to link your Memory Monday (on Tuesday--again--sorry!) post.

I've got Psalm 100 down pretty well, but I'll say it again: I miss having the girls memorize with me. It's SO MUCH EASIER with a partner or two. All the gals at Bible study are memorizing this, but I'm thinking that as a leader I could have encouraged us to partner up in our groups for some accountability. Next time, for sure!

(*So here's why I'm hobbling this morning: My foot fell asleep in a meeting yesterday afternoon, I stood up quickly and promptly twisted my ankle and fell down because I didn't realize just how asleep it was. It made a yucky noise. Ew. Graceful like a ballerina, that's me. It's sore and a little swollen this morning, so no running for me today. I think it's mostly stiff and am hoping it'll be all better by tomorrow. I'm thinking maybe Toben could do that slap/rub thing from Karate Kid later if it's still hurting tonight. Was that Karate Kid? It's been years and I don't remember for sure.)

I am officially rambling now. Time for more coffee.

By the way, I loved your Saturday plans lists you shared. It's fun to get a little glimpse of everybody's day, isn't it?

My verses this week had the same thought as yours:
"But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting..."

And I'm thankful, too. Hope your ankle makes a quick recovery today!

I did that 'foot asleep' thing IN CHURCH one time!! We had a long service and THEN a member meeting. I sat with my legs crossed until we were dismissed. I popped right up, anxious to be out of the chair and made it as far as the aisle where I promptly fell down. OHHHHHHHH that was embarrassing!

Oh, so sorry to hear about your ankle! I twisted mine a week ago, cleaning cobwebs out of the garage. Hobbling is no fun, and requires much patience. It's a good reminder to pray for patience and thank God for the strength he has given me.
Happy hobbling, my blogging friend

Yes! Karate Kid!

I had to use the ankle brace for the first couple weeks of working out. That and lots of ibuprofen :)

I've always been afraid of twisting my ankle when my foot is asleep! Yeee-owww!

And I totally read the title wrong, and was waiting to see what kind of "hobbying" you've been doing lately. I couldn't figure out why you were talking about your ankle. Me = nerd.

I hope your ankle feels better soon! I hope your pride didn't hurt as much as your ankle. I've had that type of injury, as well.
