This morning, J woke up like a little kid on Christmas. Seriously, he was wired from the very beginning, while I couldn't wake up for anything. I finally got up an hour later and he proceeded to call me a "bump on a log" ;) Needless to say, he is very happy that he has a whole month off of school and I am excited to have him all to myself for that whole month, too! It's so nice not having to go into work and miss out on these times of rest during medical school...I guess that is one perk of not having a job :) Anyway, he has headed off to the gym [which he has been greatly missing] and I am going to meet him on campus later for lunch and reading in the library for a little bit before I meet up with Nicole to get supplies for our Christmas party on Sunday! :):) Then we are going to head to the beach for some snorkeling and then who knows what...it feels so good!!! And I can't believe my parents come in exactly two weeks!!! We are so excited! And here is the advent reading for today:
Exodus 20:1-17
The Law of God that we in our own strength cannot keep.
The Law of God that we in our own strength cannot keep.
And God spoke all these words, saying,
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
“You shall have no other gods before me.
“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness
of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to
them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth
generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to
thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
“You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for
the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you
shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath
to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your
son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or
your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in
six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in
them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the
Sabbath day and made it holy.
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
“You shall not murder.
“You shall not commit adultery.
“You shall not steal.
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not
covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant,
or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
