Unexpected Blessings

It was a normal Tuesday morning - breakfast, chores, preschool, then coats on and headed out the door to the grocery store.

Wait.

The sun was shining and it felt like it was at least forty degrees - warm after many days of much colder. The thought ran through my head that perhaps we should abandon the grocery shopping in favor of the playground. But when would I get the shopping done?

My sister called that very minute and invited us to join them at the playground. Confirmation - how can I deny my kids the sunshine and the cousin-time?

After enjoying the fresh air and warmth, my sister insisted that I let my kids eat lunch at their house while I ran to the grocery store. Do I have a great sister or what?

I am blessed. God is there.
