Bible verse of the day

For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. ~ James 1:3, NLT

This was the Bible verse of the day from K-Love this morning. Whew, this was an endurance growing day.

Mom got her shot today. I think we were both really worked up with negative expectations over what the experience would be like. In the end, she said the idea of it was worse than the shot itself.

She's feeling some relief already. She's supposed to be on "bed rest" today and very low key tomorrow. I told her that even though she is feeling good that there are reasons she's supposed to take it easy, even if she's feeling better. Fingers crossed that she does what she is supposed to do.

OK, something to share that drives me nuts regardless of my mental state. After the appointment we had some lunch, then came to hang out at my house for a while. As I am unlocking my door, she says that she noticed the clothes I'd thrown in the (outdoor) trash can, had pulled them out and put them in her car.

What??

"Well, I'll wash them and donate them to the shelter."

At which point I tell her that even I can tell the difference between clothing appropriate to give away and those that are stained, worn, yicky items.

The truth is, my mom can't throw away anything. No, really. I'll post pictures some day. Truthfully, I'd already thrown two used pee pads (complete with poop) on top of the clothes and she still dug them out.

I told her that is why I don't like her around when I clean. She thinks everything can be used again. EVERYTHING.
