Today has been a better day. I spent the morning reading Scripture until I had quelled the stress I am thinking by not focusing on what I need to do and let go of the rest to God. I emptied the clothes that have been in baskets in 3 locations in the house and started through them. First, to sort out what needed to be washed and donated, for wrong sizes or needs. Then to particularly do the towels and sheets, for nothing is nicer than coming home to freshly made beds and towels after a long day. Then daughter baked popovers and they were not only tasty they were pretty such as were in Little Women. I love their steamy goodness with honey. Now I am taking a break as there are still 4 loads or so to do and they are sorted on my kitchen floor. We homeschooled from 12-3 and that worked well for us today, so we got our chores done in the morning after my reading time. I live in an urban area. I am a modern wife, mother, but the longer we are here, the more I realize I need to focus on being me, his wife, and their mother, and let the rest go. We're not jetsetters, nor weathy, nor do we wish to be in competition for anything....and the sooner I learn to be content in my own life the better. Tonight is Dh's birthday. It will be a quiet night at home, but how thankful I am to have him and to know he's not in Iraq nor Kuwait this birthday! God is good!
