It was a beautiful day today. I actually got to relax with the family and not do ANYTHING!!! We went over to Bekah's parents house for lunch and ate the largest pork chops known to man. I swear they were the size of one of my children. Very delicious (Thank you Loring)!! We then came home and tried to put the children to bed. We had success with one of them (Abigail), but lost the battle with the other one (Nathan). "You may have won the battle, but we will win the war." But after getting the babysitter, a.k.a. the television set, to get Nathan's attention we sat down and enjoyed three episodes of Heroes: Season 3 (See favorite TV shows). After the headache inducing mindless entertainment, we actually decided to enjoy the glorious day. So we packed the kids up into the jogger and hit the neighborhood. I really enjoyed looking at all of the houses and getting ideas to landscape our yard. We have more of a "dirt" than a yard, but with time and love we will transform it. Anyway....when we got back the kids wanted to play in the front "dirt", so we pulled out their bikes and they played while we sat out front and enjoyed a NICE glass of red wine. "Red, red wine goes to my head......"
As the sun set and the night air cooled, I was thankful for what God had given me at that moment; a beautiful family, home, and life. Those are the moments that really remind me of how wonderful it is to be in God's will. Sure it gets rough sometimes, but when you just slow down and enjoy the days God gives you He will always show Himself through it all.
