Unemployed and enjoying it!

God has given me the greatest joy this summer. Since I have been terminated from my job I have had a peace and calm about it. Almost a relief - don't get me wrong I loved my job and the people I worked for but I love my family more. I have felt I would like to serve them. Who would be better qualified other than the parents to care for the children when their parents work? Not some child care center that has many children per teacher. Not an at home child care who we don't know - But Grandma ('Ganma' as most of them call me) who loves her children dearly. The problem was I could never quite distinguish between God's will and my will in this situation though. I know God loves me and only has what is good for me, but how can I think a God would give me such an awesome job of spending time with ALL my grandchildren DAILY or being available for my children to do whatever they wanted. Well I think the door openned to serving my children when I was terminated. Although the summer has been some what light I know come September the early hours will start and everyone will be back to the grind. So the summer gives me a little bit of different pace so I don't get bored. I have been able to get projects done that have needed to be done years ago so that is good. I have got plans in August to do a 'unit study' on Rainforest with the children. That will be exciting. I still have more closets, drawers, and sheds to clean out and I have refinishing projects to do and oh yeah don't forget it is summer, some time away with my hubby.
