MONDAY, MONDAY!
It was all good. Chris, Kallie, and I were sick today. We still managed to clean up the office, work on the pool, give some orders for fence fixin’ and weed eatin’….We still ate pizza late tonight with a follow-up of oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough. We still played some crazy games of Sorry. It was one of those peaceful family days. Nothin’ big happened. Klara mentioned that she wished everything in the world was free. I told her that mom’s and dad’s are free. I told her sister’s and brother’s are free. It is free to love. It is free to have Jesus. We were just huggin’ and reflectin’ on the “free” things in our lives. What more needs to be said?
I love this trailer tonight. You don’t know it, but that is Chris and I’s code. As long as I am happy with our trailer, it means I am not feeling trapped or in a pit of depression. If I start feeling like I’ll never get out of this little yellow submarine for as long as I live….that’s a bad sign!
Kallie is working toward independence, just to be dependent again, on her future husband, and of course, as a Christian, she must always be dependent on Christ. Caleb is working on filling out. His ambition may be to beat Dusty from the Ranch at arm-wrestling, but I doubt it….he would rather start a Men’s Home for the Developmentally Disabled with his dad in the next 4 years. His relationship with Jesus is certainly “filling out”, while his body continues to get stronger and stronger….I am so blessed to have a son who will get rid of dangerous snakes on our property, but will still play a game of “Sorry” with his 5-year-old bro.
We should live every day like the blessed people we are. Jesus is alive in us, and it makes our every-day-ness have eternal impact. Being sick today and spending time with each other was simple, cut and dry, no pressure, AND had eternal impact. The love between us exemplified Christ’s love. I am going to live like the blessed woman I am tomorrow too! There just isn’t any time to be anxious, or worried, or depressed. HEAVEN AWAITS!
Tally Ho and Goodnight!
Love it! Isn’t it funny how those “sick days” can be the best?
