Success of a dreary day

What a dreary day!!!! But my house is clean (well, at least most of it) and my laundry is finished...and put away I might add...so all is well with the world. How sad is that to judge the state of the world by how clean your house is or if you have any clean clothes in the drawer?? But then again, maybe not. I love cleaning my house and believe it or not I love doing the laundry. I must admit that I don't ALWAYS get it back in the drawer. Sometimes we live out of the laundry basket. But I guess that's OK, too. So in the face of this dreary day a peace reigns in my home. God has been good to give us this warm, dry, beautiful home for over 21 years already. And I'm still called to take care of it for my family...and whoever else He has planned to bring my way. I'm looking forward to that. After reading our info from DFS about fostering I was delighted to learn that a foster family can take in a teenage mom and her baby...I think that would be awesome. And not only are foster families encouraged to maintain a relationship with the children's family, but they are required to. That was so exciting for me. I'm looking forward to using my home for the good of others. We just have to do the paperwork, take 30 hours of training classes and do all the home study stuff. They say it takes about 4 months to get the job done. Because of prior commitments it looks like we wont even be able to get the thing started until next September. But God's timing is perfect and I've learned not to step out ahead of Him even when I'm doing something for Him. So anyway.
