Topsy-Turvy

My life isn't, though some days are. For example, like today, when I am late to the doctor because Speedy wants to wear Princess's flip-flops. (We try not to allow the cross-dressing in public.) And then two kids are complaining of tummies hurting in the van, one is fussing, and I'm stuck behind slow, I mean leisurely drivers...when Princess tells me she's going to spit up. I give her my 'trash cup' and thankfully it holds. Whew.

Another example: coming out of Dillon's with a slew of groceries, and it is POURING rain. I mean, the bagger is wearing a raincoat to help me to my van! Honey started crying, but the other two thought it was a fun adventure.

Anyway, my point was going to be a verse that struck me from my daily devotional this week. It's funny how sometimes I see verses that I never recall reading before:

"...Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my
unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,"
says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
Isaiah 54:10

I was comforted by that--even when things seem topsy-turvy, God still loves me and is there, hasn't given up on me.

And lastly, more encouragement in a quote on a friend's blog:

"Start by doing what is necessary;
then do what is possible;
and suddenly you're doing the impossible."
--St. Francis of Assissi

There are some days when even doing what's necessary seems to be beyond what I can accomplish, much less anything else. It's nice to think that if I just keep plugging away, God can bless my meager efforts into something more.
