Just Monday a life changing event

Sometimes as I wander throughout the journey of my Day I wait expectingly on the Lord. I know he is in charge and I know that no matter what happens my hope is in him.  As I traveled my day I awoke not taking time to spend with Lord. I was getting around to it. In my thoughts I was going to have a lonely Monday as sometimes they are? My Husband goes back to work and the little things I discovered over the weekend need addressing. For instance the Laundry and tubs and showers cleaned or the things that were going to happen. I was even more not anxious about turning on the Television to see inaugural for my Candidate did not win the Election and I did not want to watch the Victory dance. I love my Country and I believe in Democracy and having a President but I firmly believe in my right to choose. So I walked in to Garage and saw the refrigerator was still broken it had broken on the bottom and the freezer was working but the bottom was not working.  I knew the Realtor was going to call with a offer this morning on the house! I still would have to purchase a refrigerator even though we were moving. I needed a place to store food although we are temporary in living in our house.  So my Sister called and said What are you doing and I gave her a run down of my weekend and listen to the way hers was! She always gets to have her children visit and come eat with her! I always feel a little sting for I miss my Children but they have such busy schedules that they often do not have time to come and eat and the distance and the fact they do not like my cooking could be key there. I often feel a little sting of jealousy as I hear how her children love to spend time with her and eat and love her cooking. I actually love her cooking as well so I truly know why they love her cooking and she is so easy to cook with and she is good at arranging things with others something else I am not very good at. Anyway on with the story I get side track so easily! So then my Husband called and said I can take a little time lets run and get a refrigerator! I did not plan to buy a refrigerator and it was emergency spending another thing I get upset with unplanned spending for necessity! I would rather spend money on Grandchildren or furniture or clothes but no one must have a refrigerator. So we plan for him to pick me up ! We decide he would have to come back by the house to take one vehicle. Then in meantime a dear Friend one of my very best for she has stuck by me through thick and thin and we just get each other! She works very hard and gives all she has to so many! She has truly shown me what an unselfish person look like! I watched her overcome Breast cancer and her Husband overcome throat cancer and she was by my side through my illness and drove when no one else could. She has been out of work which I believe was no fault of her own. Loves her family with every ounce of her being no matter what they choose to do! She has been a God given friend for years to me! She calls and said I bought you a present and I went antigueing and I found something for you and I cant wait to give it to you! It made me smile for she really listens to me and know what I like. I told her as soon as I cleaned the refrigerator off the calendar I would meet her! Then husband and I go Home depot Fridge was to small and a lot of money and then we go to Lowe"s and they were way above what we wanted and some would have been okay but we had to see the Scratch and Dent place for after all it was a garage fridge! My Husband said we will just have someone deliver it ! I thought there goes the rest of my day! I will be waiting on delivery people! Good bye lunch with Friend! Then the realtor made Phone calls talking about the deal on the house and we Counter and then she said they agreed! Paper work needs finishing but the couple wants to be in the house by end of February! Oh well there goes my long hot tub baths again for I cannot purchase another house till I have cash and remodeling will ensue since the cash will not be elaborate as this house. My Husband wants a house without house loan. He says he is getting to old to keep working like he does. I pray he does not decide the fifth wheel is enough house for us.That man could truly live in a box! Any way this is only about Ten thirty in the morning and all this is happening! We get to fridge place and purchase a more expensive fridge just in case it ends up being a house fridge till we remodeling what ever we buy! The phone rings and Daughter calls Mom I am helping design the teen center at our church and I need you to go to Ikea and look at my Ideas. I then hear my Husband calling his Son to help him load the refrigerator before he goes back to work and then my Daughter say can we meet at Cracker Barrel. My husband drops me off and my Daughter picks me up this is about Eleven o"clock and I have bought a new fridge talked to my sister my daughter and my son and my Husband and sold my home and made lunch arrangements and off to Ikea. As my Daughter comes into CrackerBarrel  she has a folder a inch thick with all her planning! She draws the room for me and has collection of items she is considering purchasing and has a budget and this will be a confirmation trip of Ideas at Ikea. She has layed out her plan methodically and as I sit back I am so impressed with her design ideas and the care and the effort she had put into planning the youth room at Church and how she has listen to what the youth and youth leader would consider necessary for this room and how they have taken ownership and really working for fellowship and Gods glory! I must admit I was very proud of her. She is such a take charge Women who loves the Lord ! I look at her and  Thank you Lord you did not let me mess her up to badly and she is making a great breakthrough in her life. Then we go and walk the entire store ! We have difference on which exit to take but she takes her own! I suggested strongly but she took her own path which I find sometimes is much better than mine. Then after we shopped she told me I was write about someone which I never thought she would ever say and Mom how did you know and I said I have been burned a few times and found out the hard way! Then my Son called and was checking in with me on his way to Monday meeting he has with his work!  I told him of the house and ask what was his plans! He said he would stop buy to visit one of my friends. Then I go to meet my friend  and she still has not showed me the gift. We go to pottery barn I need knew towels and Tuesday morning and she needs another gift! She tells me of her wonderful girl weekend with her sisters! How they love being together and I think I love that she had them! Then we go to Pottery Barn by this time it is five o'clock an my feet hurt and I am needing a glass of Tea and some Nachos at chills and Paradise pie to celebrate selling the House a great day with friends and We have an elaborate discussion on peoples sexual preferences and choices they make! Then after we decide we would love them and maybe not understand their choices but love them first! It was ok day! Nothing like a boring Monday at my house. Oh and as we got home my Friend took a box out of her trunk! She was determined she would surprise me ! She had bought something I told her I had always liked as  a little girl! It was something I did not see anymore! As she took the box out it was a 1950 box of Crystal serving pieces of punch bowl cups and plates you know the ones everyone use to serve wedding cake on ! I decided one day I would look for them and she remember and spent her very hard earned money on them! It was such a special gift for it told me she listened to me and cared enough to search for me and she found such joy at giving them to me and I will cherish them always they even have the original box.
