Grateful Hearts

On today, as always I am thankful and ever so grateful…

There is a slight chill in the air. The Easter cold snap it’s called, just in time to touch our collard greens. I picked them this morning for tomorrow’s dinner because today is Seafood Sunday. I purchased the prettiest little Red Snapper and a few shrimp, I can hardly wait.

It’s 8am and I’m back in bed. My husband has had breakfast and his meds. I can hear an old western coming from the television.

On yesterday I was tremendously blessed…unexpected and very much exactly what I needed. I wasn’t really surprised though…because The Father knows and He Answers.

On yesterday evening as I was resting I could hear my husband moving about more than usual…it had been a rainy day all the day long. I spent the morning running errands and had gotten wet more than once and was over it. Yet as I decided to check on him, I saw that he has taken a layer off of his beard and mustache, had gotten somewhat dressed on his own and wanted to go for a ride…

On our street alone it was merely a drizzle but as we continued on, he saw exactly what I had been experiencing. We turned around and just rode through our little neighborhood before returning to the warmth of home.

His earlier grooming had exhausted him, I knew he would sleep well so I started dinner early.

I baked chocolate chip cookies too. He was delighted. We watched a little television and before I knew it he was sleeping peacefully. I decided that I’d do the same.

Today is the day the world celebrates Resurrection…The Savior getting up. He paid the price so that we don’t have to…we can’t work our way into heaven but we can certainly work ourselves down and into a early illness or even a early grave. We have to know when enough is enough and understand how important rest is…

So on today it’s going to be the same. More peace and lots of rest; just as it should be…remember that and don’t forget to drink your water.

Blessings Abounding, Vetta
