Today is a good day. I don’t often say that on Mondays. It’s more often that I wake up way too suddenly, and spend the first few minutes staring at my coffee and trying to get my children to speak softly. I think yesterday I was blessed with such a long afternoon nap for myself, and add to that going to bed “early” on Sunday night (as in 11pm) I woke up this morning so easily. It’s a good thing.
Knut said there’s the potential to finish harvest this week. I’ve never once seen harvest finished this early in the Fall. That would be a huge blessing. HUGE! That means he’ll have time to get some more wood cut for the winter, and he’ll be able to finally butcher the roosters that have now matured and are crowing all day long. That means he’ll be able to come to Bible study with me when they’re on a weekday evening. So many good things!
I’m blessed that all 4 of my children have woken up on the right side of the bed as well today. Not only that, but we don’t have any plans today but the routine school plus a bunch of catch up cleaning. Translation: my house might be cleaner at the end of the day than it is right now. I’m kind of excited about that prospect.
I started out this last weekend so physically and emotionally spent, and I feel like once again, I got some huge rest yesterday. Sundays are such a huge blessings most especially during harvest time. Putting the 2 littlest ones down for naps, telling the 2 older ones to read/play/watch t.v. quietly, and then snuggling up with my hubby for a few hour nap is about the best reset button that I have experienced.
To sum up, I’m blessed with rest;
I’m blessed with a good harvest;
I’m blessed by my snuggly children;
I’m blessed with a fire to stare at in the fireplace;
I’m blessed with coffee and a new day.
How has God blessed you this week?

October 15, 2012 at 1:34 pmThose Sunday afternoon naps are SO refreshing. I think you need to make an appointment every Sunday afternoon for one!
I’m blessed that we’re finally going to get the office refinished in our house. It’s been a project needing to be done for a long time.

October 17, 2012 at 3:15 amI’m blessed by the recent moving of furniture in this house. We put the craft room up with the guest bedroom and flipped the dining room and living room around. I cant believe how much more I like my house with things set up differently! So, I am blessed by the amazing amount of work my husband did to get us ready to do this flip.
