I bought these bottles of hand soap over the weekend at Bed, Bath & Beyond for a $1.00 each. :) I love the foam soaps from Bath & Body Works. They smell SO good! :o)

Well, anyway, I had a relaxing weekend. I tried not to think too much about my son away at boot camp. It's such a downer when I think about it. I know he'll be fine. I have to trust my Heavenly Father. He has always, always taken such good care of me and my family.

The weather this weekend was kind of gloomy. It poured all day yesterday. Rain is a blessing, but sometimes it makes you feel "bluesy"...know what I mean? We did have a most pleasant visit yesterday with my mom and all but 1 of my siblings. I adore my mother. She's such an inspiration to me. I think it's her meek and quiet spirit that I find so refreshing. And she can whip together a mean soup. :) She'll just throw a bunch of ingredients in a pot and voila' - it's always so yummy. I don't know how she does it. LOL.

I have started reading the book of Proverbs. I'm reading it simultaneously with Ecclesiastes. That O.T. book is very deep and thought-provoking.

Speaking of Bibles, I saw the most beautiful Bible over the weekend - it's called the Grandmother's Bible. It has a violet color binding and extra large print. Oh, it was so lovely. The price tag was $70.00 though, so I just admired it and put it down. I did, however, find another smaller Bible, the same color, with large print, that I bought. I had been wanting to get a larger print Bible. It seems I'm having to strain my eyes to read anymore. :( I guess an eye doctor appointment is in order. *sigh*

Here's to hoping for a great, productive week. Still looking forward to Spring...it's coming up on us fast. Yay!

I'll end this post by quoting the verse that my pastor told us in his sermon yesterday was the verse at the center of the Bible. It's a great verse indeed:

Psalm 118:8 - It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Amen? Have a blessed week.
