I'm amazed by life, and it's amazed by me...
we're a strange old pair: me and eternity.
It don't make much sense, it ain't easy to see...
but I'm amazed by life, and it's amazed by me.
-Don Chaffer, Waterdeep: "Good, Good End"

What a mind boggling day:

An unexpected gift in the mail
An amazing connection with God and a friend
Bought two friends a drink
A morning of volunteering up at the school, partly in the rain...
An afternoon serving Levi, working and enjoying the weather
Daughter comes home distraught from teasing at school
Friend comes over to spend the night
Picked up 4 bags of farm fresh veggies at the co-op in Spring
Backed into a car trying to get out of the co-op driveway
Made it home to fix dinner
Do homework
Bathe kids
Talk briefly with Mark
Put kids to bed
and then sit in awe of the quiet.

Don't know what to make of today... I guess it would be best to count my blessings...

An unexpected gift of love
A great friend
A great school
Opportunity to grow and be compassionate
Healthy food for healthy children
A forgiving woman
Car insurance
Dinner together as a family
A husband who works hard AND does dishes
Peace and Quiet
A God that loves me.

Yes, yes that's it.
I pray you are feeling God's love where you are at today.
