What we have planned vs what God has planned…
Last night we picked the rest of the garden in preparation for the freeze, so naturally today I was going to make several jams and preserve the harvest. 🤩
Well, late last night, we got a call our daughter blew out her tire (she’s an hour away). Thankfully she was ok and no damage to her car. She had already called roadside assistance but also called us. I am so thankful she did! Well, after 4 hours they still hadn’t found a driver 😭 We ended up taking her home and coming back home for 2 hours of sleep.
We drove back out there, got her tire off, and went to discount tire. They got it replaced and we dropped off her car shortly after she woke up. Praise the Lord 🙌🏻 He was watching over her and us while we were out there. The tire was thankfully covered under warranty, hallelujah!
We no sooner pulled in the driveway and I get a text, our chickens are ready to pickup, already? 😳 Well now getting anything accomplished that I set out to do is not happening.
All that to say, we can make the best plans and lay them out, but God has better plans for your day! We were able to help our daughter out of a predicament, provide her peace, and spend some time with her. We could’ve gotten upset at the things we weren’t able to accomplish, but instead, we chose to celebrate being there for our child when she needed us most.
When we look at the unexpected blessings in the everyday things, our perspective looks different. Change your thoughts, to change your outcomes and find the peace and blessings in our day to day lives.
We hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful Saturday!
