Today has been very busy. My wife isn't feeling well battling allergies, but both she and I braved Wal-Mart this morning, so that we were set for supplies for the week of Spring Break. The kids are home and they like to eat. Thankfully, a wonderful family friend is going to pop in for four of the five days this week. My wife will be home tomorrow, so there will be an adult in the house all week. Thank God.

After unloading groceries and preparing lunch, my wife went to lie down and my kids delved into their video games. Thankfully my wife came down and assisted me with some of the kitchen cleanup, so I wasn't completely overloaded- it was a nice surprise. For the majority of the afternoon, I was cleaning downstairs, a bathroom upstairs, helping a little with laundry and doing a couple of other small tasks. Nothing big, but it was enough to wipe me out. Then came dinner for the kids. I'm glad we had leftovers for that task and they didn't trash the breakfast nook too badly. Shower and jammie time!

Now it's 5:30 and I'm cleaned up and ready for a nice night of relaxation, once the kids are in bed. I so badly need a recharge and I know just the thing; the 23rd Psalm and a nice cup of coffee!

Psalm 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

AMEN! Good Night
