my heart JUMPED
yesterday at 3:40 when Cowboy Dan walked out into the garden area of the store and asked
“did you talk to your sister about who is picking up the kids from school?”
“WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!”
It was my day to pick up sister banker’s 3 kiddos
who I love like my own
and
I forgot.
Never even crossed my mind.
I was rearranging, watering, sorting flowers at the store.
I immediately called to apologize
feeling like a sorry ol’ yard dog
to see if there was anything I could do to help
Sister was fine
her kids were mad at at me
I was too.
Too many irons in the fire.
I took them an ice cream
we hugged and made up
This morning in my quiet time
I was gently reminded
He loves me.
My Savior’s love is not based on my performance.
On how well or not-so-well I get things done
His is LOVE is everlasting
unfailing
yesterday. today. tomorrow.
STOP:

Like the old song sings “He’s still workin on me, to make me
what I ought to be..” #thankful
Heather says
Love the Grace of our Father! It is harder to sometimes forgive ourselves 🙂 !
I had to chuckle though because its a story I can relate to…. I have forgotten my own (and others’ children) , a horrid feeling at the time but probably character building all round!
