Blessed

I drug my pitiful self to church last night. We were having a concert, and I went out of guilt...you know...show support and all of that...

Isn't it great how God decides to bless obedience even when we aren't doing it joyfully? In fact, I was so non-joyful, that I spent 10 minutes looking for my keys, screamed in frustration and dumped my nursing bag out, still didn't find them, stomped around the house, and ended up finding them in my purse which I had apparently transferred my billfold, planner and KEYS to when I got home from work....(And yes, my children laughed at me.)But I went to the concert when I didn't want to and God blessed me. I cried. It was so beautiful. I sat next to a friend who kept asking "Honey, are you okay?" I was wonderful. I came home refreshed and renewed.

AND remember me lamenting about wanting TexMex? Well, they're having Mexican pile on at church tonight, and that's the next best thing, and it will only cost $8 to feed the whole family. Woo-hoo! While this meal will not completely satisfy my longing, it will definitely tamp down the beast.

I am blessed because I have a God who wants to give me pleasure...even in small ways like providing me with a Mexican food fix. Amen.

LOL, at Dawn's comment.

I am so stoked that you were blessed. God IS awesome and cares about the smallest details of our lives (even tex mex cravings).

God Bless!

I'm Dawn and Les' friend at church - and secretary. I met you here the other day. Anyway, I was at the concert also. I'm glad you were blessed. We are blessed each month when we have a concert! We are doubly blessed because we not only sing the concert, we get to practice all afternoon. And your church was such a gracious host church. Everything was great!

God always has a plan. Aren't you glad you yield even if you did have something to do every other night this week?
