Whew. so the past couple of days have been extra hard for me, with the adversary working all kinds of discouraging plots and ploys...ugh. So it's definitely been a trial, as I struggle to bend my stubborn will to His, and not be so demanding and instead just be grateful and work with what I have... So to help myself feel better, I went to the lovely park behind our house and lay in the grass and soaked up some sun. It did help a bit, and afterwards I brushed the little grass bits off my jacket and headed home.. only to discover when I got there that I had lost my CTR ring! :( (not the one you gave me Kristin, just one that I had bought myself in Flagstaff, but still, I was sad) But I figured I would never find it in that huge park!, and so I sadly went on with my evening..
And then today, I did the same thing, only
this time I was feeling more humble and contrite, and being a good little mormon I took my scriptures along to read while I soaked up sun. I chose about the same spot as yesterday, and it was lovely. :) When I had read and soaked for awhile, I brushed off my jacket to go home, thinking 'that's how I must have lost my ring the day before', but I noticed also that the grass had been cut since then, and envisioned my ring being happily munched and crunched by the mower! :( But I took a quick glance around anyway, and guess what I spied?
Can you see it? Here's a close up:
My ring! :) Draw whatever spiritual conclusions you will, but that is a lot of grass and a little ring! :) So yes, I feel better, and very blessed :)
