We came home from Christmas with my family on Friday morning. I was exhausted from helping my dad chisel 3 inch thick slabs of ice off his porch where the water had dripped down the side of his double-wide and frozen. I was in pain from the ride home because my rib is either separated or broken and riding in the car for an hour and a half hurts. I was also tense from the drive home through snow and dense fog. So when we arrived home, taking my kids sledding was not really what I wanted on my afternoon agenda. But the Lord was nudging me to just go do it anyway. They had been sick before vacation and couldn't go out and at my parent's house there is no place to sled. So I sucked it in and took them. We found a new hill just five minutes from home that a friend had told me about. They had the time of their lives.
I am so glad I took them when I did because the next day a south wind and rain came and took all the snow away and my son had come down sick. Before the day was over, I was sick too, and missed church today. Seize the moment with your kids as you do not know what a day may bring forth.

There are times I didn't listen to a "nudging" when I wished I had!
