Today, I was overwhelmed with Love for God. Nothing prompted it - that I was aware of - but I suddenly felt really full up with Good and Happy Feelings and didn't even think about attributing it to anything else but God.
I haven't had a particularly easy or reflective sort of day, if anything, it was relatively tough.
- Argued with a family member over socks this morning - wouldn't wear them because they had holes in them - IT WAS THE PATTERN! What she really meant was that they were too small, but somehow couldn't say that, so I thought she was just being fussy.
- Meeting in the office this morning - got out of it early which was a result and down to the graciousness of Mrs Boss.
- Tied up a few loose ends - actually it sounds quite idylic up to this point doesn't it?
- Remember to put my potato in the oven for lunch
- Prepared for a meeting I was having after lunch
- Sat down to eat lunch
- Got a call from School - Thomas had been sick, and school is 30 - 45 mins away from work.
- Phoned parents for assistance - no answer
- Panicked - what to do about meeting?
- Person I was meeting with arrived, went to meet them in the car park - had a chat in the car, will rearrange etc. They were very understanding.
- Got to school and picked Thomas up,he proceeded to fill me in on how many bowlfuls etc
- Got home and Thomas actually went upstairs to lie down. I was worried at that point - Oh he's actually really poorly.
- 20 mins later he came down, hungry!
- etc.
Tough, why?
Oh, that's easy - guilt, responsibility, guilt, resentment, guilt and so on.
However, taking Elyse to Choir later on I just was filled up and started laughing. Elyse wanted to know why, so I tried to explain how I felt - God doesn't just love us, he IS love and I love him!
Her response - Mummy, I God you!
