I am an in-doors girl

This past weekend, my dear, sweet husband spent all day Saturday getting ready for our traditional Easter Sunday lunch. Each year we try to have family and friends who have no other plans to come over for lunch. Everyone brings a dish or two and if they have children who might want to hunt eggs, they bring a basket. We are blessed with a wonderful screened-in back porch and a nice front porch. We hadn't been using them since they were still covered in an inch of pollen! LOL I have never been one to want to be outside much. I don't really know why, but it's just the way I am. Anyway, when I came home from a bridal shower, I found that my youngest son and my husband had bleached and washed the entire back porch and hung the beautiful swing that my cousin made. The weather here in the south is perfect right now for swinging on the porch. With the end of school just around the corner, my two children and I found ourselves out on the porch today almost as much as we were inside. School work isn't quite as bad when being enjoyed "just a-swingin' ". I find that I can become an out-doors girl during this time of year when coaxed by wonderful efforts of a loving husband who enlists the aid of a 12 year old. It makes me think about when I get stale and dusty inside from not doing everything that God wants me to. He is faithful to clean me up and out and put me back in order for what I am designed and intended to do. I am so thankful that He is so patient with me.
