A Sunday
A full day
A long day
A day without fighting.
That bears repeating.
A day without fighting.
I'm literally sitting here tonight
In awe that it is the truth
I'm replaying the day in my head.
We got up early
Dropped Kayleen
And my niece
At the airport
(Breaks my heart every year)
No fighting.
Had breakfast at IHOP
Went to church
Took the girls with me while I did a bit of
Fast-as-possible
Clothes shopping
And then a fast Walmart trip
For this and that
For myself
And plugged them into the iPods
No fighting.
Came home
Girls helped unpack
Lunch of left-over turkey sandwiches
Cleaned up
Stripped beds
Started laundry
Girls played school
And played recess
And played community service project
(I had them "make beds" at a local nursing home -
Aka - their own beds).
And played art class
And
All
Without
Fighting.
Ordered pizza in for dinner
Let them watch Peter Pan on TV
They got ready for bed
We read
We played Roses and Thorns
We prayed
And they are sleeping
And
All
Without
A
Single
Fight
Unkind word
Disagreement
Squeals of anger.
Thank you, God.
Thank you.
Praise Report - See above.
Prayer Request - I am running on fumes. I can't pinpoint a specific cause, reason, catalyst - but it is my reality right now. Please pray for my physical and emotional strength. Please pray for me to have an understanding and kind heart. Please pray for me to have a controlled tongue seasoned with love not impatience.
