Today I canceled my trip to Hawaii, well the expensive hotel anyway. The air is on frequent flier miles, so I am still thinking we can go, even for a few days, use some points at the Marriott.
Yea, right after we moved my husband’s work changed.   He is now consulting for the consultant that has his job. That’s a head scratching dilemma. We will leave it at that, as I am still exercising faith that it will somehow all work out for the better. In the not too-distant future that is.
It was going to be our first ever, trip alone, no soccer games for the kids, no sleeping on the floor at the relatives with all the kids, it was going to be our first vacation since we were married, 33 years ago.
I am bummed.
I have seen these beautiful lavender plants growing heartily all over here in El Dorado Hills. This last week I have secretly desired one of these for my yard, even though I am only leasing–I’ll put it in a pot–Just to see it and smell it.
So today, I had to pick up some much needed Red Bull for Gene (which I get at Costco to save money), and I was thinking, maybe I could go to Home Depot and see if they had some lavender. That would boost my spirits.
As I walked in, to my great amazement there they were at Costco, and only $10. I definitely knew they were there for me.
I put one in my cart.
Then I noticed these wonderful Peonies. I have always wanted to grow peonies, and tried to in southern cal, to no avail. I was so excited.
And only $10. Together, much less than the case of Red Bull.
I put it in my cart.
And then I went and got the Red Bull.
Once again, it seemed the tender mercies of the Lord were extended in my behalf.
My spirits were lifted, not only because I can see these flowers and smell them daily, but I know that the Lord is aware of me, a little sparrow.
