Today

Today was a good day. That seems like such a minor thing but lately, that has been something I have seemed unable to achieve. When the first thoughts that come to my mind every morning when I wake up are "God, help me", I know I am in the proper position to receive just that. Lying flat on my face knowing the day can't even begin until I have begged God just to "help me." Everything has been a struggle lately and I am finally tired of it! The circumstances of life have been difficult but the real struggle has been the one going on inside myself. I have been apathetic-- is there anything worse? So, as I cried to God for help today, He has given me just that. And today has been a good day.

Highlights of our day:
* Went to the nursing home and visited and sang hymns with the sweet ones there for an hour
* Had a picnic lunch with a couple from our new church
* Came home and wrote some postcards to friends of the children, then actually mailed them!
* Read 2 chapters of Narnia, and worked puzzles all afternoon
* Took the dogs for a walk
