Happy Monday, Everyone!

this is the day that really marks the end of the holiday season for us.  kids go back to school. rick returns to his normal sermon prep/work schedule, practices resume, life rolls forward into 2010.

although, life really doesn’t return to normal for us, not yet anyway.  my lack of a right arm has turned our little world on its head.  fortunately i have amazing, wonderful parents (with a farmer’s schedule) that are here caring for my family in all the ways i can’t: laundry, baths, making meals, cleaning bathrooms. what a blessing they are to me and to us!

so isn’t it strange that i feel bad for not doing my jobs? isnt it odd that im anxious to ‘get back at it?’

when i discover an odd behavior in one area, i wonder if thats also what i do within the spiritual realm? am i working so hard that i forget to be grateful to the One who has done all the work? do i enjoy being busy for Him more than resting in Him?

i pray that i take the blessings of a broken arm to make my heart know and love the One who holds all my bones together more intimately.  heres to 2010!
