We've had some very pleasant weather here in Northern Virginia. It was so nice midday yesterday that Maddy didn't even need a coat to go to the store! I made sure she put a hat on, but she was warm enough in the onsie, sweatshirt, jeans, socks and shoes.
I taught Sunday School today. I really enjoy teaching. Today I taught a lesson on the New Adam and how it compares and contrasts to New Years Resolutions. I had New Years Party hats and noise makers as props. First we talked about New Years Eve. What are some of the actions and things associated with New Years. Then that lead us into resolutions and what they are. After that I went into our Old Adam and original sin. Of course, that led to Jesus' sacrifice and putting on the New Adam in thankful praise and how it is renewed and supported through the Holy Spirit. In the end we wound up drawing the New Adam and taping it to our Party Hats to remind us that we should put on the New Adam every day and that it is more important than resolutions that only happen once a year.
The roll reversal was weird this morning. I got up and got ready for 'work' and Matt fed Maddy and got stuff ready for me to go to church. It was nice to get dressed this morning. I even put on jewerly. I can't tell you the last time I did that! Maddy likes to pull at all my jewelry. Wait, yes, I can tell you the last time I wore jewelry. That was for Matt's Christmas party for work. So it's been about a month.
Happy New Year if I don't post more later! We are staying in tonight, obviously, with Maddy. But we're making Matt's mom's shrimp and grits. I am excited for them. We bought a bottle of champagne as well. I highly doubt we'll make it 'til Midnight!
Well, Maddy is up! I need to go change, eat lunch and then maybe all three of us will go for a walk! It's cool, but sunny and not windy outside!
