What do birds do when there is a storm like this? God has built the way to survive into them. But even so, some will surely perish. I started thinking of all the homeless people!!! Where do they go when a blizzard rolls through with wind chills below zero, and threats of 15 inches or more of snow? I opened my back door for just a moment and popped my head out. I can't imagine being outside on a night like this. I was able to close my door and come back in to my nice warm house where I am baking bread with a fire going. I feel so taken care of and I pray God will care for His homeless children tonight. And His birds.
And to think that lately I have been in a Yank to find a way to buy a new washing machine (mine broke).
So much so, that I asked my mom to let me clean her house for money. Oh for Pete's sake!!! What is wrong with me?? I justified it in my mind by thinking she could use the help and she wouldn't let me do it for free if I offered... and I want to spend more time over there anyways. Seriously. I suddenly realized I trust God with the big things but often I do not, with the little things. I seem to think I have to make something happen. And, I think I need things that I really don't. I can certainly get by without a washer for awhile- that's what they make bathtubs and laundromats for! I will just wait. When I go to see my mom I want her to know that I am there because I want to be with her and no other reason. If I help her out with cleaning it should not cost her anything, even if she is willing to pay for it.
It all seems so silly when I think of it now. God has brought me through so much, and I am safe and warm tonight."learn to labor and to wait..."
I need to work on that waiting part!
