Quiet Days

I don't know about you, but for me, I enjoy quiet days. Today has been one of them. My husband has been on a day trip today in Maryland. So what did I do with my day? Well, I fixed eggs, bacon and toast for breakfast. I called a sweet 5 year old  and wished her a happy 5th birthday! Then I pulled a few weeds from my very small vegetable garden and inspected some not-yet-ripe tomatoes. I vacuumed, dusted and cleaned countertops. I tend to be a clutterer and more often than I like to say, I need to wipe the counters and tabletops free of clutter- at least for a day:)  Next on my list of things to do was to call a friend. She is unable to drive until she gets some relief from her back pain, so I went to a super grocery store called Wegmans and bought her a salad, vegetable soup, watermelon slices and some sugar-free cookies and took them to her. I then came home, put away my groceries, ate lunch and folded laundry. After that, I put away some winter clothes and laid out my clothes for church tomorrow. I read over the section of Scripture that I need to read at church tomorrow. I fixed myself an afternoon cup of coffee, looked through the mail, and checked Facebook and emails. I set the coffeepot for tomorrow morning's brew and now it's almost dinnertime. Such a lovely, quiet day. Thank you, Lord, for days like this one.
