It is the Monday after Easter Sunday. The house is a mess...and in a clergy family, everyone is tired... When you are tired...well, you just arent at your best sometimes!!!
We had the younger two thirds of our family home for Easter and it was grand. We are thankful for the ones away, and so happy for their wonderful Easter time as well.
One of daddy's favorite sayings when we would worry and worry about things was, "Don't worry honey, six months from now you'll be worrying about something else!" How stupid was that? That's what I used to think, anyway. But I have learned the simple truth about that statement. No matter how big something is, and how much sleep you lose over it, it does eventually get better, get resolved or lose its huge place of importance on our "worry list".
I look at my house full of sleeping bodies home for Easter. Major changes coming up in all of their lives in the next several weeks and months. They all seem huge with lots of things to worry about. College Graduations, weddings, futures to plan, A new move for us..exhausting to think about! All good things, but big things! Oh boy do I want to worry!!!
But true enough, six months from now, there will be other things because all of this will be a part of the tapestry of their lives and will be a part of their past.
I guess I should remember how daddy handled things. He kind of let the worriers swirl around him. He was the constant in the eye of the storm. I tend to be a "swirly" kind of person. But I want to remember what he knew so well. Maybe I can sit back, have a sweet tea and remember, Six months from now, there will be something else... and be thankful for these busy blessings.
