A wonderful Monday

I've always been a believer in things happening by threes. My mother drummed this into me, making me watch and wait when something bad happened----it followed that 2 more things would occur. I find myself continuing the same tradition (superstition). But today I counted four, and it wasn't bad things, but neat stuff.

  • A sticky situation was handled by the Lord alone and worked out beautifully.
  • The kids and I went to fly kites and saw buffalo (same location).
  • A neighbor brought over some purple iris and roses she'd grown (photos to follow later on).
  • And a sweet online friend sent me a pretty little Moleskine notebook she'd decorated.
The mail bringing the notebook was the icing on the cake that was already a great day. God seemed to set this one aside for me, and considering I woke up all angsty about an issue, well, I feel hugely blessed. I forget that He wants my joy too.

Btw, the buffalo are at a park about 10 minutes from our house. Aren't they the coolest? We were able to get pretty close to them, about 10 ft. or so. What a rush. :)
