Today, today I'm feeling blessed. I said to my husband last night that I just wanted to stay home all day, but I knew I needed to go and get blood work done that I'd been putting off for some time. So, this morning I forced myself to get up early, get all the kids ready, drop Sienna off for school, and take the boys to my husband. After all of that I realized that I needed to fast for the blood work I was to have done, but I had already drank a coffee so would have to put off the blood work again! My husband suggested I still take the hour for myself. Of course I will take the hour for myself! It had been ages since I had been out on my own. I headed to a nearby chapters, grabbed a latte, and browsed the store.. I left with a few goodies (all 75% off), and thanked God for making good of the mess that had seemed to be my day!
I'm slowly making my way through Ann Voskamps, "One Thousand Gifts," and I love what I read last night..
"Feel thanks and it's absolutely impossible to feel angry."
I'm going to practice this more..

I have heard really great things about Ann Voskamp's books, especially the one that you are reading. I look forward to hearing what you think about it! I can't wait to read more :-)

ReplyDeleteIsn't always such a blessing to have just a few moments to yourself. It refreshes the soul.
Happy weekend!
