Have you ever had a day when you just get sign after sign that the Lord is watching? I have had a rough weekend and it seems like every time I turn around there is some glaringly obvious sign that the Lord is mindful of me.
Sometimes that is so comforting. Sometimes (when it is calling you out on something you are or are not doing) it is sobering. These last few days it has been some of each of those. I got called out, did what I was told even though I didn't want to, and then got comforted.
Few things are as comforting to me as my sweet children. They can be a better balm to me than anything else on earth. I started yesterday out pretty teary and my girls could see I was struggling. They became the sweetest versions of themselves for the day to buoy my spirits. By the end of the day, as we sat watching a movie as a family, my tears had dried up and my spirit felt so much better.
I am looking forward to summer days when we can spend more relaxed time together. I will still have to come up with a daily schedule to avoid the boredom and but I think that will be coming after a week or two of just taking things one day at a time.
Anybody got a good list of fun summer things to do? I need to make one of those!
One fun thing is watching So You Think You Can Dance. Dance Party my house WEDNESDAY at 8:30.

I needed this, thank-you
Are you on pinterest? They have some great lists of fun summer things to do! Great, hands on indoor/outdoor activities! Thank you so much for this post~so comforting to look back at your day sometimes and see the hand of the Lord guiding you thru!
One quick but fun idea is to hide glow sticks on your block (give the kids boundaries) or in your yard- at nite -and when a child finds one, it's their turn to hide it. Very fun hide and seek game.
