Don't you love it when........
You get a message that you recognize is just for you from Heavenly Father? I think "Oh! He remembers me!"
You don't have to be anywhere until 11:00 am on a Sunday morning? I like going to church at 8:00 am, and can tolerate going to church at 1:00 pm, but I think I am really liking this 11:00 time.
You look around the house and think "Oh no-I have so much to do today before going to work tomorrow!" and then you realize you have an extra day off so you can chill a little? Thank you Presidents for having birthdays, although I liked it better when George Washington and Abraham Lincoln had their own individual days so we got two holidays in February. But I'm thankful "they" let us keep one day off. (By the way, who are "they" anyway? And who made them the holiday sheriffs?)
You think about your family and your heart just swells up with love for them?
You go through a "challenging" time and when you get to the other side it's like going from Kansas to Oz in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
You smile or say something cheery to a stranger, like the cashier at the grocery store, and you can see their pleasantly surprised reaction, so you know you've brightened their day, even for only a brief moment?
You hear an old Beatle's song and remember what life was like when it was new? Well, some of us remember that. How about a Celine Dion song? Or an NSync song? Or an MC Hammer song? Look out, I'm gonna get happy feet and have to dance!!!
You sit on your chaise in your living room and read with your dogs curled up next to you?
You wake up and realize you get to spend the night tonight with four of your wonderful grandchildren while their parents have a "grown up" Valentine's Day experience? Those of you who don't have grandchildren, eat your hearts out.....oh that doesn't sound kind...sorry....
You realize that what you do makes a difference in your little corner of the world? Hopefully for the better **smile**
Your little dogs are thrilled to see you, no matter what?
You can eat whatever you want whenever you want, because you live alone? (Except for the little dogs, but they go along with your program and don't complain)
You get to enjoy a fabulous meal with your family, and bask in the happiness of being together?
You see the world around you and are moved to say reverently, "Heavenly Father, You do great work!"
