A Day of Blessing

I am absolutely exhausted, but as I think back over my day, I realize how very blessed I was all day long.

I got up very early this morning and started right in on laundry. My main motivation was that I thought I'd lost a temporary filling and going back in to have it replaced would take a chunk out of my day I didn't think I could spare. But a couple of phone calls later, I was told by the receptionist at the endodontist's office that temporary fillings frequently "sink". That described exactly what I was looking at, so I concluded all is well and won back part of my day.

I picked up some photos because I've been working on the photo album of my husband's trip to Chicago with the church youth choir. I wasn't able to do any of the pages today, but I only have two days left to do, so I should get those done tomorrow or the next day.

I drove out to the airport to pick him up and although their flight was delayed due to some mechanical problems, they arrived safely. We did have to wait an unusually long time for their luggage, but we still made it out of there and back here before the afternoon traffic went crazy. Believe me, that was a big blessing.

We stopped and had an early supper on our way home because Hubby hadn't eaten since a mid-morning breakfast. After we got back here, he unpacked and I started on laundry again. While that was going, I realized I was so tired and sleepy, I didn't think I could even think about doing any ironing. But as each load dried, I started ironing and before I knew it, it was all done. Meanwhile, Hubby ran over to his office to check out the stacks on his desk.

So, all of my chores are done. My daughter who has been undergoing some acupuncture therapy in an effort to rid herself of several very troublesome allergies will get to make her first trial tomorrow to see if it has worked. We are very hopeful. As soon as I finish this major dental ordeal, I'm going to go, too. I almost can't imagine what it would be like to walk into a restaurant and order whatever I want without having to consider what might be in it that could cause a reaction. It sounds like heaven to me.

So I was blessed many times over today. Hubby is home and things will settle back into a routine very shortly. I'm grateful for God's presence in my life and His Hand on every aspect of it.
