Today's temperature is 32 degrees and falling. It's super chilly out there, and we are staying in to keep warm. I have a love/hate relationship with these icy cold Texas days. I love them because it's an excuse to stay in my PJs and do whatever my heart desires. If I want to watch trashy daytime TV, read a good book, nap with my daughter, or sip on hot chocolate I can. However, I despise these days because I end up thinking about the one million things I need to do. And I end up try to be responsible by doing house chores. So that's what I'm doing. Between entertaining and playing with my little sick girl, I'm doing laundry, dishes, and packing. I HATE laundry so I guess that's where my despise for these days come in. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful I have clothes, a washing machine, detergent, and all that goes with it. But I hate pulling clothes out of the dryer to fold and put them away.
So with that....why do we run ourselves ragged? God has given us the perfect excuse to relax, stay in, and "be still." Yet, I'm running around my house like a mad woman getting as much as I can get done. The only difference between today and most days is I just run around in a smaller area of the world. So I'm taking the rest of the day and relaxing a bit more. I will still have to finish laundry and pack, but I will do it without all the stress. God is good and I'm grateful for my mini lesson today.
