Life

I'm sitting here trying to think about something "blog worthy" that happened this week. I debated reporting on the five inches of snow that have fallen this 21st day of October. Not failing to mention that it was 80 degrees just two days ago. And while we do have very interesting weather patterns here, there is only so much you can say about snow.

Life, when it comes right down to it, is pretty mundane. It's about shopping trips, chores, work, cooking, eating, sleeping, cleaning. Only through Christ do our mundane lives become something more. That's the beauty of it. I don't have to sit here racking my brain about something exciting that happened this week to write about because Christ makes my pretty normal life fulfilling, meaningful and fun.

So, here are two things that stuck out to me this week:

1. How darn cute some of the kids are at work. Who could resist a two-year-old blond when she insists on having her "chocy" (aka chocolate milk) before she would let me listen to her lungs. The little 10-day-old with wrinkly skin was just about as cute as they come...until she thought it would be fun to throw up on me.

2. This week I felt overwhelmed by the blessing that is my husband. He's my joy and best friend. I'll be driving home late after work, stomach growling, and when I walk through the door suddenly all I care about is him. He makes me laugh like no one else can. He's also my on-call personal massage therapist. It's wonderful. He cares for me better than I do myself.

God knew what he was doing in bringing us together.
