a Sunday blessing - not coveting or anything ...

OK I know I should not covet,

but give me a break.

First he sends this photo...

Monsieur Nick atop La Tour Eiffel

then he eats lunch at a cafe 20' from Chartres Cathedral

and even photos his Croque Monsieur...

(I have taught him well)

avec un cafe creme...

not that I am coveting mind you or feeling at all jealous,

even though he is at my favorite church in the whole entire world

and probably eating my favorite meal...

and then yesterday he had the gall to go here -

a place I have wanted to go like forever...

with the most wonderful house which I could move right in to...

and the garden which is my most favorite in the entire world too!

Oh Giverny someday I will visit ...

and then today he starts my hubby coveting big time

as he just saunters over to the Champs to see the end of the Tour de France - sheesh...

so take that Monsieur Nick - 

I stole all these photos off your blog and just a warning -

you will have much yard work and slave labor to do when you return home - 

maybe make our yard look a little like Monet's?

and oh yes,

I was reading in Romans 13 this morning and it puts it all in perspective:

 The commandments ... 'do not covet' 

and whatever other commandment there may be,

 are summed up in this one rule:  

'Love your neighbor as yourself'.

Love does no harm to its neighbor. 

 Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

 Nick we love you so much 

and we are so thrilled that you got to be a Parisian for a month

and we are so excited to see you Friday.

but just a warning...

there will be manual labor.

a bientot...
