Time Of Decision

The end of the school year is drawing near. There are many decisions to be made, and Casey is having a rough time making them. I always pray for my children, but it has been much more important as of late. In fact, I find it hard to keep either of them off my mind, and so it seems I am in a constant state of a type of prayer. It is not a worrisome prayer, just rather a "keeping them before the throne" type of prayer, I think. I really have left them in the Lord's hands many years ago when we dedicated them to Him as babies. I know they will find their way, but, being their mother, I want it to be easy and pain free. However, I know that it will not be either way.

I have experienced a calamity of sorts...my washing machine quit this morning! Yes, I just bought a new dryer a few weeks ago, so naturally I am going to have trouble with my washing machine. As of now, it is full of water, with the clothes still inside. The pump must have burned up. I smelled an electrical type burning smell this morning, luckily, and went into the laundry room. I turned off the machine, which wasn't doing anything anyway, and lifted the lid, only to see the clothes floating about in a full basket of water. I have been trying to think of a clever way to include this experience in my devotional blog, but alas, nothing yet. (Hm, I wonder if this yucky discolored water that we experience from time to time has anything to do with it? YUCK!)


Back to the "end of the year" school activities...I have, as of today, received six graduation announcements of high school graduations. All of them, but one, is from a family member, and they are all out of town graduations. We knew this was coming this year...all of us cousins having children the same year! It does make for fun times when getting everyone together. I probably won't be attending many of the graduations since we have one of our own, here, and things to plan, but "the check's in the mail."
