For once

For once, at least not today, I didn't ask God why. I had whys to confront him with today.
Even more after I got home from work and read blogs. Right now I'm in a content mood even after reading the sorrows others suffer. Dinner is simmering, along with my mind. A strange conversation had just stirred from my 14 year old, and it gave revelation to my own trials. She yelled to me in the kitchen, "Mom, I have dance tonight". "I know". "No you don't", she answered. "Juli, I was just thinking about having to drive you there" "Pretend you don't know", she quickly said. "Okay, I didn't know you had dance". "See, I saved you"
Whoa...where did that come from! What was God telling me about my own past and the pain that was once in my heart. In this twist of a blog the one thing that often kept me alive when thoughts of death came years ago, was the pain I felt when my mother died while I was in my teens. That pain kept me alive to live for my own two daughters. That's my little bit for today.
