Feeling Purrrrrrfect!

Today's been one of those days.... We woke up late. And by late, I mean way too late. The plan when we went to sleep last night was to wake up, go to church, meet friends for lunch and then laze the afternoon away. Now our church has very convenient timings. It begins at 10:45, so that even lazy weekenders like us can attend (this is what i think). The service ends at 12:30 - right in time for lunch! And since most of our friends go to the same church, Sunday lunches are often fun bonding times.

But, today, we woke up at 12:30!!!! Can you believe that! I couldn't believe I slept through the whole morning! I woke up thinking the time must be 9ish. Normally, I would have been agitated, irritated and frustrated by what happened and my poor husband would have borne the brunt of my emotions. And he would have borne it with such flair, being the adorable, understanding darling that he is !

But that didn't happen! And instead, I found myself volunteering to cook!

What?....Me! .....Cook! ....On a Sunday afternoon!..... What was happening?!

And so, I did cook. Hubby dearest did his part helping me. I was surprised at how smoothly it all went. Lunch was late of course. By the time we sat down to eat, it was 3:30. He loved the food. I thought it was OK. After that the day just went by.... a normal, stress free day.

Now I'm sitting here, feeling loved, happy and contented.... If i were a kitten, I would be purring away to sleep, curled on my owner's lap. There was nothing spectacular about today. In fact, it didn't even go the way I wanted it to. And yet, it was just perfect. I thank God for days like these. And when I look back at today, I know the one thing that made it great. My response to having woken up late. Had I cursed and fumed about it, I bet we would have had a horrible day.

God doesn't make our days good or bad. He makes the day, and he also makes things happen during the day. But the way we react to the things that happen make our days good or bad. WOW!! I like it when I get hit with stuff like this. It is as though God has been trying to tell me this for a while. But I wasn't listening. And so he let me experience it. I love God for his amazing sense of humor and style of working in people's lives! Hugs to you God!
