We decided not to go off to any scenic spots today...
Alan and the kids played tennis while I cleaned house... Trying to put things away and organize and disinfect!
Mom watched TV. I tried to let her watch Murder She Wrote, but she asked for Little House.
We went out to eat for lunch... Yes, we've been eating out every day! After lunch, we forced Mom to walk around...
Isaiah and Alan went to a fondue party while Abby babysat our neighbor's kids so that they can go out for Valentine's Day! I stayed home with Mom and she had leftovers!
No run today. No church today. But I did go for a quick walk and bike ride... The weather was fabulous! The forecast had said that there would be rain for the whole Chinese New Year vacation, but we have had splendid weather!
I did two loads of laundry... and the house looks a lot cleaner! Usually people in Taiwan clean before Chinese New Year, but I didn't have time. Tomorrow, more shops and restaurants are set to open up. That means a lot of firecrackers will be lit! Most stores and companies will be back full swing by Wednesday! Yes, Mom will be going to her program on the 17th! Isaiah will be back at work on the 17th. Abby is going to have basketball practice starting on the 18th and I will also be back to tutoring! The vacation is flying by!
Daily Lovely Insight:
I'm reading Leviticus and salt is mentioned in Leviticus 2:13 as something to be added to all offerings. That made me ask: What's so important about salt, other than as a preservative? What is upon God's heart looking at salt as part of the offering? What does it mean when Jesus says we are to be salt and light?
Part on the temple offering included salt (Ezra 6:9). Salt was widely and variably used as a symbol and sacred sign in ancient Israel. Numbers 18:19 and 2 Chronicles 13:5 illustrate salt as a covenant of friendship.
Interesting idea!
Seek Him First!
