We had so much busy fun today! My mother came this morning and we pretty much spent the entire day doing fun stuff…to the point that I haven’t started anything for tomorrow’s festivities..uh-oh. But, she did play with the baby and Elle while I cleaned up the playroom and did the dishes. Success! Thank goodness too, we had a little impromptu super fun playdate this afternoon and my electric drill is not a good play toy. Not done, but definitely closer to the goal line. So that means a good day! I realized as I read through a little of my ramblings that I seem to have more bad days than good. Argh. But, I guess it is a journey and I didn’t start it very long ago. Today is Good Friday, the day my Jesus died on the cross for my sins. It’s a holy and bittersweet day in my relationship with him. His death brings me sorrow, but we know the story has so much amazing grace and wonder to come. I would like to see that same sentence in my writing about Otto in some years to come, wouldn’t that be just the most blessed outcome possible? I will say that in my prayers tonight that I will someday be amazed by the grace and wonder that came from our personal tragedy. I won’t be going down the road of sorrow tonight…I will live today and the rest of this weekend in the wonder of the Father whose son was given to save MY soul.
Good Friday was very good indeed! Thank You Jesus for suffering for us. Thank You for being our example to praise the Father as we walk through this sorrow. Your will not mine oh God.
