Just this and that

Everyone is scattered to the wind.  Three oldest boys at work, husband at his shop and in a hour I'll take the remaining children to my cousin's house for a birthday dinner for her mom/my aunt who turns 89.  We've not gotten together with extended family in ages, so it'll be especially nice for everyone to get together.

And looking forward to the week ahead.  There's lots of nothing to attend to, except for Salsa class on Thursday night.  The days have been so busy, and I need to putter around the house and do what I do on a normal day, and keep in mind that the Lord can handle everything else.  There's comfort in that too, you know?  To really let go and get out of His way.  Hard for me to get in that mindset, especially lately.  

I'm reminded though of the fact that when it's tough I *do* pray more fervently.  A sad admission, but one I'm willing to make.
