God's plan

The Sabath is the one seventh of a man's life that is given back to him to be his own. I rested well this Sunday. But then today I worked enough for three days and I'm worse off than when I started. I worked in the sun making beds for the kids until sweat was dripping from my face and 50% of the salt in my body had stained my shirt. Then I went around the rest of the day with white specks on my back and chest. I kept thinking of the way all the kids have runny noses and eat lots of corn products. I worried that they would gather around and start licking me. It was rather disconcerting. The rest of the unnaturally stretched-out day I spent fighting with one child or another over who hit whom first. When I get through with this, I'm either going to be the worlds greatest dad or simply hate children for the rest of my life.

Matthew,
I've enjoyed reading each and every one of your messages. It sounds like you are going through a rough time, but wouldn't change it for the world. God is blessing you through this, of that I am sure.
