moms need snow days too...
i love these boys...i would die for anyone of them. some days however, they know just the right buttons to push. today was one of those days. after my 'mini-meltdown' i sent them all outside while i re-grouped. God knew, in all his wisdom that i needed this snow day, with these precious little people to remind me that I am NOT in control of all things. just like my children frustrate and disappoint me, i know God must feel much the same. and yet....He doesn't waver in his patience and love for me. it was a great reminder for me today. so, i swallowed my pride, marched out and apologized to my boys. what wonderfully gracious people they are. :) take a min. and thank God for your amazing little people. what a gift they are!
as i was cleaning out papers (i clean when i'm stressed) i ran across a prayer that i had taped on to my mirror for a long time. thought the timing of running across it was impeccable! time to post it back up and rememeber to pray it BEFORE starting my day...
GOD,
GIVE ME MANNA FOR TODAY, JUST THIS DAY. GIVE ME ENOUGH WISDOM, PATIENCE, ENOUGH COURAGE. GIVE ME ENOUGH LOVE TO HANDLE THIS DAY AS BEST I CAN.GOD, I'LL TRUST THAT WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, YOU'LL BE THERE WITH ME AND HELP ME FACE TOMORROW. I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO COLLECT MORE FROM YOU THAN I NEED. I WANT TO TRUST YOU FOR TODAY.
AMEN.

off to Whistler....
we just got back from an amazingly,relaxing weekend away. our dear friends, dale and kathy, 'blessed' us with their company. :) we headed out on Saturday afternoon, took a long walk to the village then back to the condo (thanks to jerry and joyce) for some more R&R.(rest and relaxation)
sunday morning we slept in. casually made our way to 'town' for some more shopping. enjoyed happy hour, our boys even tried out some new beer flavors. had an nice early dinner (old people time. 5:00.) then back to the condo for some hot tubing, then up to watch Amazing Race. went to bed far too late. it was a Seinfeld marathon weekend. (poor kath, she hates the show!)
monday morning the boys hit the slopes good and early while kath and i packed up. we meet up with the guys for lunch. the poor OLD GUYS welcomed the chance to sit!!!! they then headed back up the mountain for a few more runs and we got in a few more hours of shopping.
we all decided we needed just one more day. it was such a Great weekend! thanks to all those who so willingly took and loved on our kids while we were gone.
we are blessed to have good friends and families. we expericenced a ton of great conversation and a pile of laughs, we now feel ready to re-conquer the world. we're looking forward to the next trip!
