Sixty hundredths of an
inch of rain last night has made the flowers perk up nicely. I took
this picture of the hollyhocks with the sun shinning brightly on them
so the color is not as brilliant as otherwise. We had a little hail
with the rain and wind last night. The yard was a total mess this
morning with limbs and leaves from the trees. I picked up a lot of
them before I left for work, but there are still many left. The hail
was not big enough to damage the flowers much, but the wind played
havoc with the trees. I am thankful for the rain.
I came home form work today to find a nice surprise in my mailbox from my daughter-in-law. It was a book that I had mentioned to her that I could not find. She found it, and mailed it to me along with a sweet card, and a picture of me with my granddaughter. These children just won't stop being super nice to me. I feel so unworthy. They have done so much for me, and I do such little for them. I was very happy to get the book, and will report on it after I've read it. God has blessed my children so much, and they want to share with others. I am so thankful that I have such wonderful, sweet children, and grandchildren. They are my gift from God.
I have had a good day today, and the book gift just finished the list of things I am proud to have received from the Giver of all good gifts. I have no present worries at this time. I do have desires, but those too will happen in time. Nothing pressing is bothering me. I couldn't say that last night before I went to bed, God heard, and answered my prayers. How great He is. I'm planning on a good day tomorrow. I don't work, and the whole day will be mine to choose whatever I want to do. I expect to have another surprise or two to happen. I know not what, cause if I did it would not be a surprise if it did happen. I just know I want the very best of everything God can give me. Not that I am deserving, but because He promised to give us the desires of our heart. If I go shopping, and I find that one outfit that I cannot believe I did, I know God has given me my desire for a new outfit. Something I can't pass up, and can't wait to show it off. I do not want to be a duplicate of anything. It takes real originality to keep that from happening, when most clothing garments are duplicates. I like to find the right piece of another accessory to make the outfit seem all original. This is a woman thing, and not just my own idea. But sometimes we may get a little wild. So what, it says a lot about us.
God Bless
