A Mother's Heart

TOO glad?

Yesterday was a wonderful day at our home.  The product of much thought and preparation and research was attained.  Yes, it's true.  We have a new roof!

It was certainly time, and several water spots on my ceilings can attest to that fact.  The shingles were very old and the tar patches that my husband and father put on were not able to stymie the flood of rain and ice we have had in the recent weeks.

So, my 2 boys and I joyfully retreated to my mom's house for the day while the roofers did their job.  Although they were fixing my roof, it sounded inside like the whole house was coming down!

When I returned, the roof was done and looked so wonderful!  No more fear of rain at our house!

But today I was wondering, am I too glad?  Is my heart too set on earthly things?  How would I have reacted if we hadn't been able to afford it? 

I need to be careful to give to God everything in my life, and remember that He is in charge!  So, thank you Lord for the provision that allows us to be warm and dry!!
