Today is the last day of 4th grade for my 4th grader. My preschooler graduated from preschool last week. My husband turned 40 yesterday. Today I go to the pharmacy to pick up yet another round of my heart medicine and another Epi-pen. (Epi-pens expire and I'm not enough of a risk-taker to carry an expired one and hope it works if I need it.)
Reflective is the name of my mood today. Life is moving. It never stops. I am getting older. I have been asking myself if I am using the time given me well. Am I loving God? Am I loving my neighbor?
I did get a wonderful smile today in the middle of my introspection. Elijah was filling up a plastic cup while he was in the bathtub and he said, "Look, Mom! It's like the psalm of that David guy. My cup is overflowing!" :)
Oh, I also got another wonderful smile today. Thanks to a new approach I've been learning to teaching a student to write, Joseph wrote a clear, well-organized paper on bee and wasp nests....and never cried or got frustrated. This is landmark for him and for me. I am so grateful that God saw his tears and my frustration and sent a friend to offer to lend me her costly training materials. I had never heard of them. I took them out of sheer desperation. What a gift. I would not have pursued this program due to sheer cost. Sometimes....being cheap doesn't pay.
