End of Summer

The end of summer hit us hard this year. We travelled a long time and then got back home with just a week left to go before school started for Liam. The transition back to our normal routine hasn't been as smooth this time.

I am in general, a positive person. I sometimes near Pollyanna level in the Glad Game. But I woke up on the grumpy side of the bed. If I was a cartoon character, I would have had a storm cloud over me! I found fault with everything and despite trying to find things to be grateful for, I was annoyed. 

But just now, I overheard Eric playing a game with the kids before bedtime. Playing in front of blinds that my husband bought and installed yesterday after a long day of working and giving me a girls night. They are playing together quietly and joyfully. What a wonderful God we serve that can use such a simple thing to remind me of the many blessings I enjoy daily!
