Saturday's

Saturday with little to do ? It's a rarity but I was so thankful for it today. Typically we have Praise Team practice on Saturday mornings but we took this week off because we are only having one service tomorrow and only doing one song. So this morning I laid in my bed until 10:00 am. Well actually I got up started laundry and then crawled back in bed for a little while. Jason had taken the boys for haircuts and I just enjoyed a quiet Saturday morning.

Around lunchtime part of my women's ministry team and I met up and delivered a benevolence meal to a precious family in our church who is grieving the loss of a loved one. I love being able to do something to help a family out in a time of grief. Even though its just a meal it is one less thing they have to think about as they go through the process.

After lunch Jason had a wedding. Noah and I decided to take off for a little while and just hang out. We dropped Eli off with Papa C and we headed to Wally World. We listened to our new choir music and Noah practiced his solo, we laughed and ended up in a downpour as soon as we pulled in the parking lot at the store. We grabbed the Disney umbrella, shared it and laughed all the way in the store. It was just a Walmart trip to start out with but ended up being a much needed time for the both of us together. I'm so thankful for these moments. I have a really awesome tweenager!

Our afternoon consisted of some good family time with just the four of us and ended up with a spontaneous Sonic trip with friends.

There is one thing for sure, there aren't many Saturdays that I am not pulled and stretched. And I don't mean that as a complaint. I love my life and I am so thankful God counted me worthy to serve in ministry with my husband. So when these special moments do happen I never ever want to take them for granted! Tonight I'm so thankful for my family.
