Not the Routine

I have a routine on Sundays - a little exercise, a little coffee, mid-morning church, picking up lunch, writing my blog, doing some calculus or some other homework with my kids, walking if it's warm enough, making supper, getting ready for the week, and bedtime. 

Last week, my routine got sidetracked right after church. We had our white elephant cousin's party with my mom's family. It's a downsized reunion, complete with a crazy game of re-gifted Christmas presents. A little less than 40 relatives gathered to celebrate just being together. We played and laughed and generally filled a few hours with joy. 

For this one reason, I forgot to write my blog. I remembered it Monday on the way to work and the next time I thought about it was Wednesday.  By then I decided to wait until today. So, my apologies for not updating my story last week - but it was a time with the family that I wouldn't trade for anything. :)

Now we have jumped into February 2018. Wow! What happened to January? I awoke this morning to freezing temperatures, ice on the trees and heavy rains. My routine got derailed once again. 

Proverbs 19:21 There are many plans is a man's heart, nevertheless the Lord's counsel - that will stand.

My day hasn't gone as planned, but God provided a way for me to hear His Word. I was able to watch our church service live on Facebook and it felt as if I was there, using technology in the best way!
