Yesterday was ridiculously busy.
My first day of vacation before I leave my old job for good should have been a play day. That's what I expected when I asked for it several weeks ago.
Instead, I got to help plan Grandma Turtle's memorial service (I'll need to pick another Scripture verse. The one I wanted was met with near-boos by those whose experience with Grandma differed from mine). I accepted a feline house guest, which brings the tally to 7 cats, one dog for the next few weeks for those who can count. I filled out paperwork for my new job. I went to a visitation for another dear friend who's taken The Long Step.
That's a lot for a turtle.
Add to it my emotional parting from work the night before (my last official day), my inability to reach Mom in the morning, which led to such confusion when she showed up to drive us to the church that I LEFT MY FRONT DOOR WIDE OPEN for about 3 hours, and the emotional freak out when I got home and discovered the open door.
God must have stationed an angel to guard that opening because every cat was in the house and no one had burglarized me. I have no other explanation. I couldn't have invited disaster more openly if I'd run an ad in the paper.
That's how yesterday went. No matter what obstacle arose, God smoothed it down. What could have been one of the worst days of my life became a day for praise.
Believe me, I praised. I'm praising Him for today's rain, too, and for whatever else He has planned.
I'm sure it will be better than I expect.

All cats accounted for with the door open for three hours...that's proof of the existence of angels if there ever was.
