Our Busy Little World

Aug. 11, 2009 - On Thanking God For The Little Things...

So, yesterday I received the biggest vomit-shower of my life! Gross, I know...I was holding a fussy Alyssa in the baby back pack, and couldn't seem to help her stop crying. All of a sudden, I was drenched, covered, dripping in yuckiness! All the girls have passed this bug around all week, and we're finally on the last couple little ones, so hopefully we'll be done soon. That moment was the messiest, and it took me a moment to figure out how in the world to clean everything up! But I did, and we threw everything into the laundry for a very hot wash.

...Fast forward to this morning. I was up most of the night taking care of Isabelle - she always seems to get the highest fevers! Long story short, she ended up in my bed, and finally went back to sleep at 6:30am. I was trying to figure out how to get up and get ready without waking her when a phone call endangered her sleepiness. I quickly snuck out and managed to do so with her still asleep.  I'd been puttering about downstairs for a bit, getting some morning things accomplished, and thinking about making breakfast. I finally decided to make some food, but was disappointed that I'm still in my jammies, which don't happen to be what I want to wear in front of our neighbor-facing window. It would be impossible to sneak in and get clothes without waking the little one. Knowing this, I was right in the middle of thinking to myself (hadn't even got as far as praying yet) how much I would really, really like some clothes, when I passed the dryer. Voila! All those dripping, icky clothes from yesterday are now clean, fresh, dry, and just waiting for me to wear...Thank you, Lord, for a lovely morning gift!

Ugh! There seems to be nothing worse than the pukes. I feel for you for having to endure the vomit-shower...lol! It bet your dryer full of clean clothes never looked more inviting. God is great! It is funny how he seems to provide in ways that most people would overlook :-)

Perspective is everything, isn't it? Thanks for such a gentle reminder that, no matter what the situation, there is always something to be thankful for. God bless you and I pray that all is well. I can't see your slide show, for some reason.
