So Much For a Three Day Weekend

This is from Our Daily Bread today:

"When the work of earning a living, raising a family, maintaining health and fitness, and managing relationships starts to overwhelm us, it’s good to think about how small our part in the universe really is. While we obsess over our work, God quietly does His. He keeps the earth rotating, the planets revolving, and the seasons changing. Without any help from us, He makes the sun rise every morning and set every evening. Every night He changes the pattern of lights in the sky. He turns out the light so we can sleep, and turns it on again so we can see to work and play. Without lifting a finger, we get to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. Every year the seasons change on schedule. We don’t need to pray about it or tell God that it’s time to send spring. All that He does reminds us He is good (Acts 14:17).

Life will at times be difficult, often it is painful, and for now it is imperfect. But still it is good, for in all these things nothing can separate us from God’s lavish expressions of love (Rom. 8:39).

Thank You, loving Father, for the good gift of life. Forgive me for making it complicated for myself and others. I thank You and praise You for all You do so that I can enjoy so much. Amen.

God’s grace is immeasurable; His mercy inexhaustible; His peace inexpressible."

Anyone else not really doing anything this three-day weekend? *raising hand* My husband has to work most of it, so it will be one short weekend, and one long week next week. I'm trying to be creative, thinking of things to do so Bri and I don't get stuck at home. Because all I can think of right now is how the laundry needs to be done, my room dusted and organized, bathtub sanitized, etc.......

Does anyone in my area know of any Labor Day attractions or fun stuff going on? Perhaps I will surf the web and check things out. There's bound to be something!

We are praying for my dear niece who just received a skull fracture. She fell backwards off one of those cool scooters, a Segway, and had a concussion. No, she was not wearing a helmet. The good news is that the fracture is minimal and should heal normally, of course, with about two plus weeks of bed rest. There were no dents or permanent damage, thank the Lord! But poor niece has been through the mill...extreme pain, vomiting and just overall misery. If you think of her anytime this weekend, please pray for her.

Happy three day weekend to you all!
