Under His Wings

It was one of those anything could go wrong kind of days.  It started out realizing I didn't do enough laundry for today and one of my kids needed underwear.   I was freaking out about it when Elijah made a mad dash for the bathroom. He didn't need the underwear afterall.  He had fallen victim to the tummy bug going through our house.  Nate had been sick on Saturday, but this morning he started to complain about an ear ache.  Last night Anna started feeling sick. So far she's escaped the tummy yuckies, but she's had a headache. I ended up taking Nate to the doctor and he was diagnosed with an ear infection.  When I went to leave the parking lot, my van would not start.  The van has not done that since June.  Thankfully, Tim could get away to come help me.  While we were waiting for him.  I told Nate that we should pray one of the 2 cars next to me would move before Tim arrived as it was, Tim would have had to block the...

Psalm 118:24 This is the day that the Lord has made.  I will rejoice and be glad in it. Have you ever had one of those days where everything that can go wrong, goes wrong? This morning, my 8 year old chose today not to cooperate getting ready for school.  Of all days, my van would not start.  Thankfully my neighbor was out walking his dog and was willing to help me. When he got the van started, I came inside and was a bit on the flustered side.   I thought what else could go wrong? It ended up that I had a nice talk with my Mom.   I love our morning talks!   Then my dear friend Diane called like she usually does.  We had a really great talk this morning too.   It's a bright sunny day.  I have no reason to be frustrated.  I'm going to get up now and get some cleaning done.  I do hope that this sun stays until after 3 PM.  I enjoy watching Nate and Anna play on the playground with their friends ...

Today was a blast from the past for me. Growing up my main mode of transportation if we wanted to go anywhere when my dad was working was the county transit bus. My mom did not drive until I was 19. I didn't get a car until after college. Even sometimes after I had a car it was just easier taking a bus to the nearby city. I had not been on a county bus in about 11 years when my car broke down after I got married and my husband wasn't home from work yet to take me to the store I worked at. Tim didn't have any "e time" left to bring me the car because being the great dad he is took what was left yesterday for Elijah's birthday. Even if he did, I would have had to take him back to work then go back and get him later. I thought I needed to go downtown anyway to go to the library, so I might as well catch the bus as it goes to where my husband worked. It was SO nice! One of my friends was on her way to the library, so I was able to ride over with her. I spend ne...
