Of Sunshine and Rain and long work hours...

When one is too busy to blog, one is too busy.

Sigh.

These past weeks have been busy.

But, I am thankful for the Lord's many blessings and help through the past few weeks.

  • Rain! Lots of wonderful rain. When rain is not a common occurance, it makes it so much more special to have wonderful rain coming down.
  • Many, many hours at work. Stressful hours sometimes. But, we had prayed for the Lord's provision to meet some upcoming needs, and He provided by giving me lots of extra hours at work..and the grace to accomplish those lots of extra hours.
  • The helpful support from hubby. Which includes coming home from work last night and finding that he had unloaded the dishwasher for me.
  • Having hubby bring me home a great big bag of treats one evening. He made some good choices that fullfilled my need for some extra comfort food at that point.
  • Going to some yard sales with my daughter one Friday..and finding some treasures.
  • Knowing that the Lord is in control and that I can trust Him. And come to Him and find rest...and peace...and all that I need.
  • Some lovely Aiden smiles.
  • Fresh roses in our yard, and having the fun of picking them.
  • My craft table and area to work at ....and supplies to work with.
  • Crocheting baby afghans.
  • Finding out I have a new great neice/nephew on the way.
  • Making plans to visit with my mother the end of September. And, being reminded that the Lord is in control of her situation and that He cares for her right where she is, at this season of her life. And, that He is with her, even if I can't be.
