Our entire family is sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head feeling we need to rest! 🙂 It’s crazy how this cold that I caught over a week ago is hanging on and has now plagued Neal and Seth as well.
Regardless, today was a very productive day. Nothing too exciting took place that is even worth mentioning but it always feels good to just get some things done. I mean as little as getting my son to help me shred that pile of old bills that have been sitting in the shredder all year and making that effort to finally organize the itemizations for our taxes (UGH!).
But the big question is…how did God show up today, or how did I show up for Him? How does He present Himself in this mundane yet productive day? Honestly, what I’ve already been learning with this project 44 days into it is that God really is in everything, even the small things. He was with me this morning as I got up and felt guilty for having slept later than normal (even though a persistent cough had kept me up all night) and when I began to get ready to go to the gym to workout I realized that I’d missed the class I wanted to go to. It was then God whispered ‘It’s okay, put your PJ’s on and chill for a bit, rest.” And so I did and I thanked Him. 🙂
Once I felt rejuvenated that is what set me in gear to begin doing something…getting things in order. Again as one thing upon another was accomplished I felt His hand in it all. And again I thanked Him.
And then Seth and I had some time today to spend together to just hang out. We went grocery store shopping and I learned a little bit more about what it is that he really likes, what songs he likes on the radio and why. You see, he wouldn’t tell me this stuff around Ryan because Ryan would make fun of him. Again, I thanked God.
God is even in the ‘sleepy time tea’ that I’m drinking right now as I sit beside Neal. We are watching other people on HGTV get a great new back yard as we are wishing we could have someone come over to our house and pay for everything to boot. Ah…but we are together, sharing, talking, dreaming, and I thank God for this too.
The NyQuil is kicking in…thank you God!
