A Pampered Day

I t has been a wonderful weekend The Valentine's Banquet last night was incredible. It had good food, good fellowship and good preaching. After the banquet my husband and I went for coffee and had a wonderful time together. Because the evening was going to be so late my mom kept the kids over night and we had the whole evening to ourselves. This morning the Lord tested me on how to be a help meat (I think I passed ). My husband was up and out of the house by 6:00am to make pancakes for the Men's prayer breakfast and my mom still had Paige. I got up made coffee and did my Bible reading and then headed for my own personal spa. With my warm vanilla sugar scrub on my arms and legs. My apricot facial mask and my cumber eyes. I sunk down in the tub with bubbles as high as they would go. Let's not forget the six candles that I lit all around the tub. The house was all my own and I was not being bothered by anyone. Not even the dog. And then the phone rang, I thought to myself "oh I should just let that go" I did I let it go into voice mail. Not two seconds later the cell phone rang.. "What do I do someone must really need something. I got out of the tub and answer the phone it was my husband. Well now comes the test. I got out of the tub and returned to being the help meet God had call me to be. "Honey what do you need?" He was in a hurry he had backed into a tree in the Lidndahl's driveway after dropping the boys off from the breakfast. He had to drop off Mr.Kuipers and pick up his daughter from my mom and be at the Motor Vichele place by noon (it's now 11:00am). I jumped out of tub threw my clothes on, got the paper work that we needed and jumped in the van wet hair and all. In the mean time Gina called to ask about this pretty robe that the Ladies of Grace were going to pick up for Juile. We ran as fast as we could to the Motor Vichele place and they were closed. (President's Day) When Sam got out go the van he saw tht the tail light from hitting the tree was broken. It has been a busy but productive day. All the dry wall for the basement has been delivered (thanks Mr.Lindahl). The new tail light for the van has been ordered and the Pampered Chef lady has come and the party is all closed. Bill and Gina just called and we are taking the kids out to Country Buffet for dinner. What a busy but fun and productive day. Thank You JBJ Construction for all your hard work.
