Today Was Good Because...

• Got up at 5:45 to practice quartet
• Went upstairs to snuggle the Twinkles awake, and ended up getting snuggled asleep - so I got to get up early and sleep in, all in the same day!
• Actually had Ben at home all day. He came downstairs to write his thank-you notes and played the kind of music I like all morning on his o-so-cool-of-a-speaker-system computer. So sweet to me... :)
• Made marionberry jam
• Read Psalm 29 and was reminded to give all my energies to Jesus, not just as much as I think I can spare...sometimes I'm tempted to conserve some for myself, to make sure I don't get all-tired out, but He reminded me that He will give me all the strength I need!
• Taught a violin lesson to an adorable 6-year-old
• Drove with the windows down - warm air pushing and tugging on my hair, the radio with Aaron Copland turned way up (I have to be able to hear it when the windows are down! :)
• Saw grandma and grandpa
• Worked in my garden
• Listened to the Twinkles journey away together to a make-believe garden in a make-believe world while they were "helping" me weed
• Saw God miraculously provide again at the Lord's Gym - this time with the groceries that we handed out after dinner

Today was good because our God is good, yes? :)
