A Timely Power Outage

Today is Thursday.  I am thankful for a new friend, who came for lunch with two of her little ones.  What a joy to remember my days in her shoes.  Lord, Thank You for my children.  Thank you for the memories of them at that beautiful age.

After they left to go home for a nap, Math became the focus of our day here at Mosley2.  One of my favorite things as the "teacher" is when one of the kids is having a time understanding the lesson, and all of a sudden...BING!  On snaps the light bulb and the difficult concept is now understood.  I also enjoy the corrections...sitting and working through the problems with them.  Checking the mistakes and rechecking the answers.  (Now, if they would only understand and apply the knowledge that checking math work before handing it in makes much better sense!)  Lord, Thank You for my children.  Thank you for my time with them at this wonderful age.

Today during studies the power went out.  That put a kink in my busy plans for the afternoon.  No grocery shopping (good thing I got oats the day before), and all of a sudden I was feeling unwell and needing a bed right away.  Lord, Thank You for slowing me down, and for my children who tucked me in and quietly continued their afternoon so that I could rest.



One last reason of thanks...Lord, Thank You for timely reminders of so many important things lately.  Focus for my brain, devotion for my heart, gentleness towards others, and how time is spent.  Please help me to apply the reminders in a way that honors You.
