Contentment

I often comment to my three daughters how busy they seem, going from one task or event to the next. They are living life I am told. Recently my husband made the same comment about me, 'you can't sit still either, I wonder where they get it from?'
Truth is he is right.
This past Friday Lauren and I went to a fall festival while he finished up some work. Saturday I worked on the sweet pickles that were canned today...pictures soon. Saturday afternoon we all went to see Kelsey play college volleyball with shopping and dinner to follow. Sunday is always full with morning and evening services. I highly recommend Pastor Rob's messages from yesterday. Excellent.
This morning I dropped Lauren off at school, walked at the park with a friend then had coffee. Off to another friend's house to finish canning our pickles and the day is not over.
All that to say how thankful I am for the place God has put me. I haven't always been able to thank God and be content in whatever state I am in. In years past I have been very discontent even while knowing God had called us to a particular place.
Thankful for...
