Everyday

Every day holds new opportunities, fresh perspective and revelations. This morning when I awoke, I had no idea what the day would hold.
School- We packed a lot into an hour a half. It was almost as if the hours themselves stretched for us.
Outside- We meandered into our back yard. Our ears were pleasantly suprised to hear the peck, peck, pecking of a woodpecker. That "suprise" went along so well with our study of backyard birds. Our eyes drank in the beauty of the blue sky and white billowing clouds. Our eyes marveled at the number of birds we could count in our acre yard. Blue jays, cardinals, doves, house sparrows and robins flew from tree to tree and our eyes tried to keep pace with their flight.
Inside- There were chores to do and rooms to clean. Not much fun,but necessary none the less.
Lunch- My daughter, making her own creation (or so she thought) of instant cheesy mashed potatoes.
Errand time- Everyone heads out to the car. The key is inserted. The van will not crank. Mommy dials daddy on her cell phone. What else is a girl to do?
Daddy's home- After checking every possible thing he could think of on the van, nothing. No clue as to why this big green piece of machinery that we rely on won't go for us. Daddy makes call to mechanic and the tow company.. The tow truck arrives to take my only mode of transportation.
Today, didn't go as I had planned. But for me, there is a sweetness in knowing that I don't have to be concerned or worried. My Abba Father had complete control of everything. He is my Hope, my Joy, my Strength, my Provider and too many other things to be written. So, I find joy today. Will I be able to do it tomorrow? I pray that as I draw closer to the Lover of my Soul, that the earth and the cares of it will continue to fade away.
