Bloom where you are planted


Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.


This week has been a little bit of a strange one.  There have been times where I absolutely thought I couldn’t go on.  Then there were other times even though things were rough it was wonderful.  A lot of this week has been a blur and honestly I don’t remember a lot of details.  It was a busy week at The Master’s Hands.  But, I wouldn't have it any other way.  Of course things can get really hectic at home with Steven.  But things have been wonderful overall.  Thursday night it was cold and windy and possibly even snowing.  And everything in my house was wonderful.  We all sat in a living room Steven on the computer, Bryan on the couch, and I was in the big purple chair.  We sat watching old Dukes episodes.  All I could think was how great of a life I have.  Bryan is gone a lot in the truck and Steven can make me want to pull my hair out.  But God has us right where we need to be and I have to trust in him.

Today was a little bit of a rough one.  But one filled with a lot of little blessings.  Steven helped heat up his pancakes in the microwave, helped with the laundry (without being asked to), then he helped load the dishwasher, and even picked up some around the house.  The most impressive thing, he did it without complaint.

Then tonight, Uncle Jeff and Jenn came over for supper.  We had a good time tonight and Steven got very very wound.  But, that happens with Uncle Jeff around, it has always been that way.  I would be worried if it didn't happen when Jeff was there.  It was great having family over; I think we need to have company more often.  Not too long after they left, Steven was ready for bed.  He had a long exciting day, not to mention a cranky one at times. 

Take care and God bless,

Sherri
