Tonight while driving to spend the evening with my friend and her precious kiddos I was rear-ended on the highway. I am ok with the exception of being frustrated at this new inconvenience in my life. The whole ordeal took about 30 minutes since a cop literally pulled up behind us as soon as we moved our cars off the road. I am very thankful for that and all the details being taken care of quickly. Let's just hope the car fixing process is as speedy. I'm not so hopeful after the crazy icy roads and the 1000 accidents around the city last night.
But I'll have to say it was worth it to spend time with this family. I wasn't able to see the kiddos for very long as it was story time when I arrived and they were shortly off to bed. I didn't miss the goodnight hugs however and these munchkins give the BEST hugs. It made my whole day so much better! The kids went upstairs and said their prayers which included a few for me... heart melting over here! They are so precious and innocent and full of expectation. I could really learn something from that.
The night ended with making fudge for teachers' Christmas gifts. I've never made it before so it was a fun lesson for me. One of the boys was having trouble sleeping so he came downstairs to help. He wanted to do everything himself. He helped stir and taste and sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top. He was so excited about all the things he was doing and how much of a helper he was being.
I was going over there tonight with the hopes of having some great and inspiring conversations. Funny that things didn't go as I planned. Funnier still that the Lord knew exactly what my heart needed. Joy is overflowing thanks to sweet time with a family and the little reminder of what it means to have child-like faith.
