The Gift of My Career

Thankful that I have my job.  Which for many in today's climate is hallelujah blessing in itself.  But today I am thankful for it because even on the day I want to chuck it all and go live on a farm because my "grass-is-greener" eyes think there is where I would be a better mother- there I would have all the time in the world for them; I have a job that allowed me to be home today with the boys while they were off school, and to be at home with them since Geo took his first breath.  I have a job that allowed me to sleep in, field emails and phone calls from clients while grocery shopping, clean the showers, book a honeymoon for some lovely new clients, make (failed as the recipe was) rubber bouncing balls with boys, contract group space for a mission trip to Honduras, play Clue, and enjoy the miracle of how beautifully the Lord has orchestrated this very job into my life.  I have a job that allows me to bless my family with extra income for the things we like to, but don't have to do (and I am thankful that I have a husband who on his own can and does fully support our family).  I am blessed.  And at the end of the day, even with my moments of needing to step into the office and do a little work, the thing the boys were most thankful for today was me, being here with them.
