Rachel's Ramblings



And if the Devil doesn't like it he can sit on a TACK!

11:56 PM, Sunday, June 29, 2008 .. Posted in Family News .. 0 comments .. Link
Friday morning the baby had a doctors appointment and a needle (he's been sick for about a month now).  Early Saturday morning we took a sobbing 4 year old into the emergency room to discover that she has a severe double ear infection -- AGAIN.  Saturday evening the baby took a tumble down cement outdoor steps, scraping his forehead and swelling all the way down his nose......

This morning we were to drive 3 1/2 hours to visit in a church for the day. 

If ever there was a Sunday that I felt like staying home and not fighting with cranky kids, this was this was the one.  As I looked back over the past few days I realized that if it were only ONE of these things I wouldn't think twice about going - but everything combined had left me tired, cranky and wanting to stay at home.   My hubby encouraged me.  Perhaps the Devil is trying to keep us home for some reason.... 

I am SO glad that we all went!

After an enjoyable Sunday school and service (in which the baby actually went into nursery and was willing to stay), we headed to a church members home for lunch.  The family who hosted us is a homeschooling family with 8 children ages ranging from 23 down to 6.  Six of them still live at home.  What an Amazing family!  The children were so thoughtful and kind, taking my children right away and making them feel comfortable and right at home.   I felt taken in as well as I was greeted with a hug and a smile.  I spent the afternoon basking in the warmth and knowledge of this experienced Mom.   I hope I didn't drive her crazy with all my questions!  What a wonderful, unexpected blessing!!

I left feeling energized, encouraged, blessed, and amazed again - God always knows just what I need.  I'm so glad we went.
