Thank God For A Busy Day!!
Today turned out to be a really nice busy day. When I got up this morning I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders and I really just wanted to crawl back in bed but Momma Lou called and asked me if I wanted to meet her over at Krissy's to go swimming so I loaded the girls in the wagon and we were on our way. We had a really good time and I enjoyed spending time visiting with them and just relaxing. Then when we got back home we had lunch and the girls went down for a nap. When Johnny came home and got cleaned up I was off again. I had to run by the store and then I went to do a survey/taste test for a research company. It only took about 30 minutes and we had to give out opinion on 4 different grilled chicken sandwiches. It was really great because not only did I get free dinner I also was paid $50 for it. I say you can't beat that. Then I was off to do yard work at my Dad's and it took alot longer than I thought it would but I enjoyed the time to myself to just think and pray. I had a blessing while I was there, the mower would not stay running and I prayed that the Lord would touch it and wouldn't you know He did because it stayed running the rest of the time. I didn't get home until around 9pm and then to my surprise Johnny wanted to have a fire in our little fire pit in the back yard. This hum drum day really turned out to be good and I say Thank You Lord because I know it is His handy work that made it happen.

And to top it all off you got to see me. :) I'm really glad you were able to get out and enjoy yourself. I really need to get over to Krissy's pool and do nothing.
I'm so glad you had a nice day. I enjoyed being with all of you yesterday also. I'm looking forward to playing with my grandgirls tonight. Isn't God such a good Daddy to help us with the little aggervating things like a lawn mower that just doesn't want to work? See ya later!!
Sounds Fun!!
I love busy days, I love to see how God comes to my rescue and give me strength to get through them. I'm thankful you got to be with the sisters and did you really mean you put the girls in the wagon...as in little red wagon? Post a picture!
It's funny that we can spend our days and some sleepless nights wishing things would just slow down and when they do I feel so useless and this voice says "you should be doing something" and then this restlessness sets in until I get busy. I think we feel that way because God made us that way. To be "help-meets" for our husbands, servants to our brethren and to stretch forth our hands to the world around us. The virtuous woman didn't sound like she was laying around much! Spending time with your Sisters, helping someone else with their lawn, praying for something and seeing God answer that prayer, and to top it off, alone time with your hubby. Sounds perfect! As you said, God blessed you with a really nice busy day :)
Sis. Lori, Yes I did mean little red wagon. And I will take a picture the next time we get them out in it and I will post it. I really like our wagon it is a fancy thing if you ask me, it is still a red wagon but it has seats and cup holders. It is very fancy compared to the ones we had when we were little.
Sis. D Thanks for reminding me of the Virtuous Woman and I too am sure she didn't have much time to sit around and eat bon bons.lol We just read the about her in our last sisters meeting and I have often thought of printing it off and posting it where I can read it everyday so that I can be motivated to be busy.
