Slowing Down

This morning on the way back from paying the utility bill we got stopped by a train. Normally if we were in a rush I would usually start planning alternate routes in my head or get a little impatient. Today was one of those have all the time in the world days. We were able to watch the train go back and forth several times to adjust to the narrow opening. For all those who are not familiar with our neighborhood, there are large bins where rice is dried(formally Riviana Rice Mill) so trains frequently come and go. It was so nice because the girls were laughing and having a good time. I felt God was showing me the many blessings I miss each day because I either don't pay attention, think negatively, or don't take the time to see them.

Later that afternoon we had family night at Didi's. It was so nice to be with everyone. When life is passing so fast, it's nice to take time out to be with family and friends. Thanks Didi once again for making it such a fun night.
