I didn't have to cross gaurd and I am happy, happy, happy. You cant see me, but I am doing the happy dance. I was able to endulge myself in one of my favorite activities, I slept late!!!! I know I am suppose to be working on my self discipline. However I was up most of the night with sick kids, so I had a good excuse for being a little lazy. And I totally enjoyed it.
It's so funny how little things can make me so happy. I want to take time today to slow down and enjoy even the smallest blessings in my life. When my children are sick and there is work to be done it is easy to forget to be thankful. It's hard not to get caught up in all the chaos. Part of me wants to complain and whine about cleaning up vomit (yes, now Isaac is throwing up), and changing nasty diapers, and listening to children cry with belly aches. But on the otherhand I need to stop and be grateful. I didnt have to get up early and leave my sick children to go to work. No one is in the hospital, something that many sick families can't say. And sick kids offer a unique opportunity to lay in bed and watch movies.
That being said, I am going to be thankful today. I am going to watch movies with my kids. And relax and read "Story of the World," something we have been planning to do for a long time. Thank you God for "time" with my children.
Today's Scripture
“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;” Ephesians 5:20
Today's Prayer
Lord help me to be grateful in all things and all situations. Help me to see your hand at work in my life. I desire to know you more, to seek you harder, and to love you deeper.
