Thank Goodness for Peanut Butter

Yes, as I was Mother Betty Crocker this morning, I pulled out the remaining loaf of bread and gave the necessary options of healthy & fast breakfast over the intercom:

Peanut butter, or
Cinnamon butter bread? 

And, please hurry up!

Then, as I ran out of bread (and, by the way, it was "wheat" at least), I pulled open the white flour tortillas and pb&j'd one for Ellen after school snack!

Um . . . you're right, I did get groceries 2 days ago (Sat. evening to be exact).  Yes, you're right, I did not buy another jug of milk OR another loaf of bread (although I did remember the peanut butter - yes I did have a coupon and it was on sale)!

Um . . . you're right, I could have made muffins, or rolled cinnamon rolls out from the dough in the fridge!

So, what's my pain jane?  Simply put, i chose to enjoy the moment with family that came over yesterday, a walk with my husband and tucking my girls in at night (to which i then went to bed).  Jesus, thank You for making up what I fail; for your mercies new every morning, for the wisdom You unabashedly give and the grace beyond understanding.  Thank You Jesus for life.  Help me to live the life You have given in a way that honors You and blesses others.  Amen.
