It's 3 pm and I'm getting ready to leave my in-laws house. We had such a good time. The kids woke up to Easter baskets on the table. Filled with chocolate rabbits, jelly beans and toys! Rick and Cheryl have been so good to our family! We decided the kids had easter baskets at home with candy and didn't need more so we weren't going to do anything just come up here and celebrate the time with family. We were blessed far more than I could imagine.
It has really been about making memories for me the last few months. Good family memories. Doing stuff every weekend to be together as a family and enjoy some time together. You never know what will happen to your life. I promise you things will happen and in one moment things are fine and then the next moment something happens that takes your breath away. Could be good or bad, I promise it will happen. It has happened a few different times to me in the last ten years, unfortunately most of my times have been not so good. But through each time I have learned so much about myself and people. Wisdom beyond my years. I have really loved the last few months about spending time together.
Work gets in my way though. I hate waking up and going to work, spending time there for 8 hours just so I can make money to support the family. I am grateful I can support my family don't get me wrong, I just wish we didn't have to do it. I wish we could all live and share and not have to punch a clock, maybe like the olden days. A simpler time? I don't know.
So part of me is sad to go. Get on the road and go home. Try to get some laundry done and get my head ready for monday. Try not to dwell on being sad too long, plan our next weekend adventure.
Sounds like you all had a lovely time together. Go get'em tiger and have a terrific Monday.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, here is a song that I heard and thought it would uplift you. It's called Stronger by Mandisa:
ReplyDeleteHey, heard you were up all night
Thinking about how your world ain't right
And you wonder if things will ever get better
And you're asking why is it always raining on you
When all you want is just a little good news
Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather
Oh, don't hang your head
It's gonna end
God's right there
Even if it's hard to see Him
I promise you that He still cares
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you ...
Try and do the best you can
Hold on and let Him hold your hand
And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Oh, lift your head it's gonna end
God's right there
Even when you just can't feel Him
I promise you that He still cares
'Cause if He started this work in your life
He will be faithful to complete it
If only you believe it
He knows how much it hurts
And I'm sure that He's gonna help you get through this
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
In time it's gonna get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
