Happy Halloween!

We had a great day! Paul and Addie both had a big day at school celebrating "Reformation Day"...I was in charge of their parties...pizza, ice cream sandwiches, and relay races set up outside for their classes. Emma had "PJ Day" at school and went in her comfortable pajamas and we took cupcakes. Tonight was our Fall Festival at our church...full of tons of fun! It was just a busy day all the way around. As we were leaving the church tonight at 8:30...(after a very full day of entertaining kids, let me remind you)....Paul asks me, "So Mom, what are we doing tomorrow?" I was quite upset leaving the Fall Festival!

I've been thinking about that comment since I got them home and in bed...how often do I do that with God? He gives me so much...is so patient with me...blesses me in ways I don't deserve....AND STILL I KEEP SAYING..."God, what can you do for me now?"

Don't you love how God uses your kids to knock you down a little...teach you something...make you smile...and push you closer to Him??? 8-)
