What a wonderful blessing it is to have in laws that are willing to let God use them! My in laws are retired and live in a motorhome. They travel all over the u.s. and they knew that we wanted to go see my brother in ohio for a quick vacation. So, one day this spring, they called and said they would be willing to come and watch the shop for us. PRAISE THE LORD!! This gave us the opportunity to take a whole week off and drive the long trek to cincinatti.
I had that initital AHHHHHHHHHHH…. WHAT AM I DOING? I HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO! I CAN’T LEAVE NOW!! I AM SOOO STRESSED! IT’S THE END OF THE MONTH… STATEMENTS… TAXES…. CHECKS… AHHHHHHH!!! But God always knows how to calm our hearts in the midst of chaos. My mother in law stepped right back into her old job and took over at the shop. Poor her… it now looks different than when she was there daily. Toys have replaced tools, drawers of supplies are now drawers of diapers… hand prints line the windows and display cases… little bits and pieces of my beautiful children are all over the shop and showroom. I look at them when I’m at work and think “what in the world!?! I am nuts to bring 3 kids to work with me!” but I know I am truly blessed to be able to do so and enjoy every bit of their little lives. So now as my mother in law looks around at my messy shop, I know she is probably shedding a tear missing us and seeing my kids everywhere around her… just the way I like it! ;)
So on we go to Omaha for the evening and then on our way to ohio in the morning… OHIO OR BUST!!!!
