Sweet times...

I was talking to my supervisor the other day and he asked what was going on with me. Hmmmm...Received my status as a Board Eligible (same as provisional) LPC, I'm supposed to start the new job Monday, we are supposed to move into our new home next month, we have a new grandbaby due in October. (He was originally diagnosed with the fatal Edward's Syndrome, and then they decided he didn't have it!) At the time I had a line on an agent that wanted to work on publishing a children's book.

Life is good--yet too often I feel like I don't deserve any of this. I don't. I do know I am very grateful for all the things the Lord is providing for me. Like the home we plan on retiring in that the grandkids will feel love and peace. A place where we don't have to worry about them playing in the yard, where we will have great times in the playroom, where we can make Christmas cookies and not worry about the mess we will make, and where we are already looking forward to the first Christmas there with six grandkids--five of them under five years old! (Ages 11, 4, 2, 2, 8 months and 2 months in December).

There is also a lot He has in store for me...much more learning about my job doing intensive in home therapy and actually finishing my books--He has given me great prompting to do that. Right now this week has me packing up many things in this old home that has had many good and bad memories. If I can just keep working and not stop to reminice on the things I'm packing, I'd get a lot more done!

More Little Kisses From God

Yesterday I was stopped at a light and saw a van load of mentally challenged guys, more than likely from a group home, piling out and going to Chilli's. I smiled, as I know this had to be a treat for them. Right after they were under the awning going in, the rain started to pour down.

To me, this is one of those little kisses from the Lord. After working with people like this, I know it could be distressing for some of them. They probably didn't even know about the rain. This reminds me that there are so many things that the Lord does for each one of us that we don't ever know about, others that we may learn about much later.

God is good--All the time!
