Generous

Our Daily Bread
Did you ever have a teacher that seemed to hand out criticism easily, but rarely complimented the students on a job well done. The expectation was that a job well done for all assignments. Expectations can be dangerous! ha!

While God has the highest expectations for us as his children, he also knows our limitations. We make bad choices at times. God lets us make those choices. We usually live with the consequences, however sometimes we learn from our mistakes and avoid serious consequences. Our God is just and merciful. He doesn't hold blessings out in front of us like a carrot to a mule! LOL He often blesses us when we feel like we don't deserve it! The least we can do is serve him and praise him to the best our abilities! Praise God!

Lord, we thank you for your love, mercy and generosity. We love you!

Movie Monday
After working sooooooo hard on Friday and Saturday, I went to the movies on the rainy Sunday afternoon! I saw Chef and Edge of Tomorrow.

Chef
I heard about this movie from a friend and had to see it. I also love to cook and am a little bit of a foodie, so I also loved that angle to the movie. The story is about a chef who is held back from the owner of a mildly successful restaurant. The chef wants to create a cool new menu for the visit of LA's top food critic, but the owner won't let him. A LOT of interesting things happen after that! There are many cool moments in the movie. I don't want to ruin the plot, but this is a good Father's Day flick!

I give it three bear paws. Very well acted. Nice story. No need to see it at the theater unless you want to see it sooner rather than wait for rental.

Edge of Tomorrow
This is Tom Cruise's new movie. It was described by critics as Groundhog Day meets District 9. That is a VERY accurate assessment. While not a Tom Cruise fan, the movie was not totally panned by the critics so I went to see it. The action scenes were amazing. It has some humor. It had a little love story. It had lots of action.

I give it three bear paws.  Check it out on the big screen!
