I had my Friday Morning all planned out: I was going to take Tyler to School, Exercises, visit Landry's grave site and come home and take care of some much needed cleaning. Just as I was walking out to get us loaded up in the car I got a call from Ryan telling me that he needed me to run to HEB and get 13 dozen Hot Dog Buns and bring them out to Westphalia ASAP. There goes my Morning, I thought..... I dropped off Tyler and made my way to pick up the Hot Dog Buns. I made the 20 minute drive out to Ryan's School and on my way I realized that I was in need of some time to myself and my thoughts. Driving is always a good time to talk to God, too. I truly was enjoying the drive and the music that filled my car. Dropping off the Hot Dog buns also gave me the opportunity to see Ryan and sneak a kiss...... that is always worth the trip.
Once home I made my stop at the cemetery to spend some more quiet time with God and it truly was a beautiful Morning outside that I just sat and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. After that I was going to head home but then there was that little voice in my head telling me that I need to run... since I missed my work out at the gym I decided to stop at the walking trail by our house and go for a run... well in my case I think there was more walking than running. I will explain more about my need to start running in another post. I still made it home to get some chores done and also chat on the phone with two precious friends that always make my day a little better. I was pleased with all I got done before 11:30 when it was time to go get Tyler. Once we got home Tyler and I spent our afternoon outside playing, racing on bikes, and jumping on the trampoline.... there our days when you just have to put all the chores and work aside and truly enjoy the company. Friday was one of the best days I have had in a while...
Some times the best laid plans are the ones that we don't plan out. Thank you Westphalia for having a Hot Dog Bun Crisis.... I love the day that it provided for me and Tyler.

Always remember the best way to make God laugh is,tell him YOUR plans...glad you let go and let God direct your perfect day!
So glad it worked out like that. You made me smile just thinking about HEB. I did not like HEB when we first moved to Texas but it grew on me. Now, I wish I could go to HEB (or any real grocery store for that matter). Hope this week brings you more good days like this.
Here's to show what a fog I am in today - I thought it said 13 hot dog buns, not 13 dozen and I was really wondering why 13 hot dog buns were such a big deal and needed! Man....
Glad you had a good day :) Hope you have a few more to come.
Thank you for sharing this, Holly! It's always good to be reminded that God knows what we need more than we do. :)
