Today's picture is of the two girls I nanny for, Mary and Katie. At the beginning of the day we had decided that after lunch we would go swimming. As soon as we had changed into our bathing suits the clouds came rolling in and it started to thunder. Obviously, our plans for swimming were canceled. Instead we decided to color. The girls and I decided that they should draw a picture of what they would do if the sun was out. While drawing the pictures Mary said, "Miss Kaysley, maybe this is better because now we won't get sunburnt." This little 6 year old has a better outlook on life than most adults. These two little girls LOVE to swim. It's one of their favorite parts of their day. So when they didn't get to swim today they could have pouted (and they did a little at first) but then they were able to find the positive in the situation. I think about how many times in life I have a situation that doesn't go the way I think it should and it causes me to have a bad day. Maybe God is changing the plans so he can prevent the "sunburns of life". I know this is a lesson I needed to see. Life isn't always about getting what we want. Marriage I believe can be the same way. I know these is a lesson that I can use as a Miss and will continue to work on as a Mrs.
