Today started off pretty well. I was still not feeling up to par this morning, so I lazed around in bed until around 8:00 (which is late for me). The kiddos snuggled with me for a while and then they went in search of food. I finally had to get up and help them out. So, we got going a little late, but by 9:20 they had wrapped up breakfast and their chores. So, I decided to give them a little time to play outside and burn off some energy. Well, around 10:00, My Stubborn Nefew’s Mother came over to hang out while her truck was being repaired. She didn’t end up leaving until around 4:00, I think. So, needless to say, school never even got started today. But the kiddos had an awesome time playing outside and working on their forts again. Bubba went home with MSNM to spend the night. She called a bit ago and said, “Ummm, Bubba is sunburned…” Shesh, I didn’t even think about sunscreen while they were out playing.
We also had a full house for lunch today. It was a lot of fun!
So, today reminded me that I need to be flexible to what God has in store for my day. I certainly had my own plans for today, but the plans the Lord had for me were much more fun!
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
