Thanks

I realized that yesterday was the first day that I can remember where I had a giant to do list and instead of just plugging away on it like normal, I hid. As in I did none of it and hid in my office and then literally under my blankets in bed rather than face any of it. Thankfully my mom was there to pick up the kids and get them started on stuff. I, however, was a hot mess.

However, today I was blessed beyond measure once again by the friends and family that God has placed in my life to fill in the gap.  I wish I could say I humbled myself and asked for help. But instead in a "I'm drowning and need a life raft" type of way I threw out my to do list in at group text not really expecting anything but a sympathetic ear, and instead I got the calvary. They showed up in both big and and small ways:  making Caleb's birthday treat cupcakes, wrapping all his gifts, helping me pack, volunteering to pick up the kids, bringing Caleb to cubscouts, making me smile, and even bringing me dinner after I forgot to eat anything but chips and salsa this evening. I am so blessed by friends and family that fill the giant gaping hole. Thank you my God for these that show me such bountiful love.

All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. - 2 Corinthians 4:15
