Silence

For those of you who read yesterday's whining and wondered why I can't think up anything better to write about, let me tell you what happened today.
Thursday is Ethan's birthday, and to celebrate, Caleb's parents promised to take him to the train museum in Council Bluffs. So, today, Tam and Alan showed up and wanted to take Ethan AND Kylie on an adventure! As I write my house is SILENT. Julia went to sleep - finally! And I am attempting to catch up on my scrapbooking, which I haven't even looked at for the last 5 months.
So I am getting a much needed break. And I'm marveling over God's lovingkindness. He knew exactly what I needed and arranged circumstances so that I would be surprised by His gift to me. What an amazing God! Now if only I could learn to trust His kindness to me even when life is crazy - instead of complaining...
Back to scrapbooking!

Absolutely cool. You've been on my mind all day because it sounded to me like you really did need a break. And then you got one! So I join you in praising God, who cares so much for us.

I love this! What a way to minister to each other! Today is Aug. 6 and I'm just now reading these, so it all passed by me unknown. But who knew blogs and facebook would be used by God in this way?!
