Mrs. White over at Legacy Of Home reminded me in her latest post that worldly pursuits are not all that important.
She posted that she was not shopping on Black Friday but staying home and taking care of the house.
I think that is an excellent choice. Of course I don't actually like shopping. My mom and grandmother love going to stores. They often spent hours just walking through looking at things.
They usually ended up buying things they didn't really need too. That happens to me when I do that as well. I have to go in and get what I went for and leave. Otherwise I waste money.
Black Friday gets people way too competitive as well. That is not a good way to be. I don't want to get angry at people because they are in front of me and might get something I don't.
It is much better to stay home. Even if don't do any housework :p

Whatever Is True, Whatever Is Noble
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." Philippians 4:8
This is excellent advice. It is hard to do sometimes though. I get to worrying about something or wondering what someone meant by something they said and my mind goes off thinking about bad things.
That's when I have to get up and do something to distract me. Because it is very hard to change what's going on in my head without changing what I'm doing or where I am.
Doing housework can be good for this too. Sometimes that's the only reason my housework gets done! Which doesn't say much about my diligence...

Joy Comes In The Morning Psalm 30:5
"For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5
This is true. It is hard to remember when you are weeping though. It is good to be reminded that it doesn't last forever. Even grief has stages. The worst of it will pass.
No one will ever be forgotten but it won't hurt as much to think of them after a bit. You will be able to remember the funny things, the good things, the things that bring a smile instead of tears.
Sometimes it doesn't take too long...sometimes it takes years. And sometimes you think the bad times are done and then you see or hear or smell something and the weeping comes to visit again.
We just have to remember...we will see our loved ones again. It isn't a permanent parting. Not this time anyway. Morning will come...and with it comes Joy.
Lord haste the day!
