I went to bed late last night (around 3 a.m.) but when the pets woke me up at 6:30 a.m. I felt ready to get the day started. I resisted getting out of bed for about a half hour then decided to put my feet to the floor.
The house was quiet, a rare thing these days and I was getting the pets their breakfast when I suddenly felt a smile come across my face. It hit me that my DH was coming home today. His mission trip in Uganda was complete and he would be home this afternoon. Because of poor internet connections we have only spoken a couple of times since his departure and that is difficult for us. Over the many years of our marriage, we have come to realize we do not do well apart from each other.
As I am writing, DH texted he had just touch down in NYC ….. getting really excited now! YAAAAAAAY!
I am getting together breakfast for all of us when my sweet little doxie alerted me she needed to go outside so I got her situated and then settled into a chair to watch over her activities in the yard. There was a soft breeze bringing the wind chimes to life and creating a lovely atmosphere to just sit in and enjoy. The sun was rising slowly and peaking through the trees across the yard just as a gentle rain began. I took a deep breath drawing in all the contentment these elements created in me. I love the rain, I love the sunshine, I love the Creator of them both. (((sigh)))
The day is shaping up quite nicely for me. Sun and rain and breeze in the morning and DH coming home in the afternoon…….I AM BLESSED!
Hope your day is a great one, too.
Blessings
