I make plans for the day, and God just laughs!

Well, my son is truly nearly grown up! He set his alarm, got up and got off to work at 6:00 am ALL BY HIMSELF this morning! I woke up at 6:30 and nearly panicked, but he was already gone. Hubby got up then and left to go plow while it was cool, so I slept in, really slept in~~ until 8:45 am and that is LATE for me!!!!!!! Got up started laundry and thought "Well, I will have a leisurely day of laundry and catching up on my Bible Study and reading the paper, then to Kaitlyn's wedding and Dustin's Bday party, blah blah blah! To make a long story short God laughed at my plans!!!! As I was hanging up laundry on my clothesline OUTSIDE (gotta save that electricity!), my sweet MIL came over and said that Smith's Gardentown had called and had some of the grass sod she had been waiting for, but she needed to pick it up today! OK, quick trip to WFalls, I can exchange some stuff at Pennys, get her grass and still make it home in time for the wedding. You know, I am so glad God changed my plans! I truly value the time I get to spend with my MIL ~~especially with my mom being gone now for 4 years. God chose this day to allow me to spend most of it with Ethel and we always have such fun together!! God has divine appointments for us each day and sometimes they are with the sandpaper people in our lives and then again, sometimes they are with the people we love the most! Thanks God ~~ I really enjoyed my assignment today!

    sandpaper people

    I've never heard this expression before but how appropriate for describing the roughed up feeling that some people leave!!

    Sandpaper people - it's a Beth Moore description of the people God puts in our lives to smooth off OUR rough edges!

    OOOOOOHHHHHH!! I made up my own meaning, didn't I? Glad you clarified that!

    BUT....there are people that leave me with a "sandpaper texture". I feel *right now* that I need to be smoothed over!

    I probably need a Tammie visit!!
