Sunday, September 29: Emma spent the night (Saturday night), we just quietly hung out, played with Matey, caught up on each other's week, and watched one episode of "Designated Survivor" before going to bed.
We worshiped at Calvary Sunday morning, came home and ate a yummy lunch. Emma was pretty intent on further taming our First Mate, so I set her loose on him. She is amazing and does not give up easily. Matey became quite comfortable with her hands and eventually was just hopping on and off her finger quite naturally.
See? Emma worked her "magic" with our little budgie! She even played happy budgie sounds to him from her phone, which he appreciated very much.
Since Emma and I are attending a very important family wedding at the end of October, we needed to get a pretty dress for Emma to wear for that occasion. We drove down to Woodland and we really only needed to visit ONE store: "Altar'D State". We LOVE that name. It's a Christian store full of beautiful clothing, wonderful Christian note cards and plaques, and the whole atmosphere is wonderful. While we were parking the car, we noticed a fire truck nearby and lots of medical people surrounding a car. We prayed for whoever was in trouble, and we also asked the Lord to lead us to the right dress at the right price!
One of the clerks who greeted us alerted us to the special 40% off clearance sale that was going on that day only. We were able to purchase a truly lovely dress for Emma (she looks like a princess in it) for just $30! Can you believe it? We were pretty wowed by it. I loved sitting in the dressing room area on a comfortable couch while Emma was inside a pretty room trying on dresses. She would come out and show me how they looked. There are beautiful mirrors, and the lighting is wonderful in there. We had such a nice time.
This is one of the plaques that were displayed ... I love that I've been studying various words from Titus 1:1-4. FAITH was one of those words this week. This is a very nice "definition" of faith.
I treasure these times with my dear Emma. She is such a gift to me.
