Disappointment

I don't mean to sound depressing or anything, but this year has not been going my way. Let me explain. So far this month, I have not been able to go to at least three things that I would really like to have been apart of. First, it was a wedding. And since yesterday I have had to cancel a concert, dinner plans, and was not able to attend a funeral today. The week in general did not go my way. Mackenzie stayed home from school all week due to a cough and cold which made homeschoooling Emily diffucult b/c she couldn't concentrate, and stay focused b/c she thought it would be more fun to play with sister. Jonathon has been sick since Tuesday and is still running a high fever and has a bad cold. And to top it all off, John has been pretty much been out of commission since yesterday due to his kidney stones acting up. He still was not feeling well today so we could not go to the funeral like we had planned. I AM thankful that as I have gotten older, and have matured in my walk with the Lord, that I am able to more readily accept these times of disappoint, and to realize that everything happens for a reason.
