Vacation week from work

Originally, my vacation from work was suppose to be the 1st week of May, however, I volunteered to change it to this week (May 16-20). I guess it was a good thing because last Thursday (May 12), Jake threw his back out and has been very immobile. He has been unable to drive, so I get to play taxi for everyone. He took Friday off work but I have driven him every day since and to the orthopedic doctor and now he is beginning physical therapy. To me, it has been a subtle witness of the generosity of the Lord. I am not saying it is a good thing that he hurt himself but I am saying is the Lord was mindful when vacation week changed. Jake can not even lift Christopher, so I would have had to figure something out. He is even unable to put on his socks and shoes right now. Other than that, life is good. Actually, I had a pretty sucky day Tuesday. Let's see: my iPhone was dropped in the toilet (not even clean water...), spent 3 hours at doctors with the boys, dropped Jake off at temple, and had a flat on the way home. The flat was not even on my van but on the Xterra and getting to the spare tire was a challenge. But, I did it, with the help of Charity. Changing the tire gave a sense of accomplishment but overall the day just kept adding up. My phone is fried and has to be replaced and I am taking the tire in today...life just comes as you sometimes but things could be major. These are all minor things.

Life can suck at times but at least you have family near by.
