It touches the very thing that Advent encourages: living in the present and being aware of the sacredness and holiness of the moment. Thank you.

Sometimes, as you so well reminded us, we must remember to be flexible and not be so rigid in keeping the plans we made that we miss the original goal for the plan.

I'm also glad that your water heater was in the garage. It would have been worse if it had been inside your house. Our water heater is under the steps in a drainage pan with a drain that goes directly out. Well, that is how it is supposed to be if my husband did it like he was supposed to do! lolAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-24519473415198563502013-12-04T20:59:40.904-07:002013-12-04T20:59:40.904-07:00A beautiful and thoughtful post, Kathy.

It removes stress, makes the original plan more enjoyable, and in the end, keeps everyone content.
