Lilies of the Field

Today was NOT a "lilies of the field" day. Instead, I was rushing around trying to wash clothes, remember everything to pack, get art supplies ready --- altogether exhausting myself between the 8:30 hair appointment and the 12:30 lunch date with my mother and aunt. Then it was off to visit out-of-town family and the first hour of grandson Jakob's fourth birthday party. I wish I could say that the day ended with a Food & Fellowship dinner with two other couples, but tonight there is the packing to finish, send out the itinerary, and update the email list. Tom is anxious to get the car packed, so I'm off to help with that.

Definitely NOT a day of resting in the Lord, taking things one at a time and trusting that all will be well. In spite of knowing that much of what consumed my day was dross, I couldn't put down the sense of being burdened and hurried. I seek His kingdom and still wander off on side paths.
