Unexpected Vacation

Normally stay-cations are planned and I get a great deal of work done around the house. This past week's vacation was quickly created only the week prior and the weather didn't cooperate. What began as a warm enough week soon turned bitterly cold in just a couple of days. (Highs in the 40s are bitterly cold to me!) When I try to recall what I did this week, I wonder if I was a slug. I began cleaning out a closet in the carport, but not finishing; wrapping Christmas gifts; treating a couple of birthday people to lunch/dinner; floating in mineral salts; reading a few books; and watching about a dozen Hallmark Christmas movies.

Our plans for Christmas/birthday parties on Saturday and even attending church on Sunday were derailed by the weather. (I don't like ice and I like my one car too much to tempt it.) Fortunately our church uses Facebook Live, so I sat in my PJs watching the service, then made chocolate chip waffles. I'm cozy, warm and not out in the cold, wet weather. 

On weeks like this, I always go back to Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. Weeks that are not dictated by work or a schedule. It's a time to do something different, take care of business, think, make some decisions, relax, plan, hope, dream, and enjoy.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:
