We started a new little tradition today. Since we have seven kids, I decided that I wanted to take a picture of all seven of them on the seventh of each month.
I plan to do it in different places. I plan to go to places we have never been before. But today, we simply went to the library. Originally I had planned to go somewhere else but since Jav is working day shift this week and it was raining today...I decided to keep it simple.
I was glad that we went to the library because we had the opportunity to meet a very sweet lady who was there with her granddaughter. We enjoyed talking with her and getting to know her while some of the kids looked at books and played on the computers. We even made plans for a get together sometime soon. Sometimes God has unexpected surprises for us, doesn't he?
It was nearly one o'clock by the time we headed home. I decided to drive through and get some pizza at Little Caesar's. Since Manny was feeling sick in the drive-through I pulled into a parking space and we had a little picnic with pizza right there in the van. It was fun, and just what everybody needed before we drove the rest of the way home.
Right now, it's time to relax. The kids are watching a movie from the library and for a little while I don't have to be a conflict resolver. Yes, it's been one of those days. This morning was especially difficult. Time for me to pray and ask God to give me grace, strength and wisdom to work through every situation that comes up. And to do it in love.
