Last night as I was putting the kids to bed, two of them, at separate bed times...asked, Mommy, what are we doing tomorrow? What is exciting for tomorrow? They love to look forward to what the next day will bring....it was pretty funny because before they got ready for bed I saw both of them go to the magnetic calendar we have on the fridge and check..they saw there was nothing there :) If you know our family, you know this is unusual. The kids knew this was unusual. And they didn't like it. But I thought it was quite funny! This morning when they came into my room to say good morning they asked again, Mommy, what are we doing today? What is special today? I asked them why did they think we should do something special and they said because we always do special things and it's fun!
I love my kids, I think it's funny the way they learn things sometimes...and things they come to expect or anticipate. I was thinking about the verse in Matthew 6:34 that says,
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own
I don't think they were worrying, but I think it's a great thing to put into practice, not worrying about tomorrow and what things might come, but focus on today and being obedient to God for the day He's given! :)
