Saturday and Sunday (days 9 &10):
It doesn't really feel like a weekend when you spend each day doing similar things, but we were all together all day at home.
I made banana bread for breakfast and then venison stew for dinner while we watched On the Basis of Sex about Ruth Bater-Ginsburg, which was powerful (thankful for free movies on TV right now). The kids have been so amazingly industrious - they cleaned out the basement family room to make a work out space and to find all our DVDs and games (we have more than we remembered!). We had some flooding this winter from a burst pipe and things have been a bit of a mess down there because no one had time to really work on it - now we do! The kids have been playing spike ball, practicing the piano, reading from our pile of books and we've been going on walks with the dog daily.
Today I got a little creative myself and made a fairy garden - we'll see if those flower seeds germinate in the next 10 days (growing things is not my forte, but this is a time to be emphasizing growth of good things, right?) I dug up an old Scripture coloring book and did some coloring as well - it's a great way to focus on the Word and calm our spirits.
"The Earth is the LORD's and Everything in it." Psalm 24:1
We ended the night with a bonfire and a reminder that there are many things to be thankful for during this time.
Church on Sunday was Facebook live with Darren and Ron tag-teaming the message about how Jesus is with us in the midst of the storm. Here's the link to the feed:
