When I woke at 5:30 I got up and turned on the heat. Then I read for an hour and a half until I finished “The Marriage Game” that I’ve been reading since November 29. I dozed off again and didn’t wake up until almost nine. With icy roads I didn’t try to make it to Bible study this morning so I got the rest of my cards for the Angel Card Project ready to mail off. I took off at 12:30 and went to the post office before my chiropractic visit. Dr. Dave found way too many sore places to poke and prod. I kidded him about being mean since I missed last week. 

I ate lunch when I got home and then went back to see what I could get done. Reign's blanket is done. My back was hurting big time after dinner. Of course, Dr. Dave would have told me not to come home and do what I did this afternoon. Since we are expecting snow again tomorrow, we washed clothes and dishes today. And I got into the shower tonight. I figured it was a good time to try out the Spin Spa I bought the other day. Sadly, as with too many of the “As Seen on TV” items, it was a piece of junk. Thankfully I bought it at a store where it can be returned.
I watched “House” tonight and then I perused my stack of books for a new one to read. It seems like the first three I picked up were ones I’ve already read so I had to dig a little deeper. I’ll knit some more on William’s baby sweater before I hit the sack. I have four inches done on the first sleeve. This one is knit from the sleeve to the middle, then the next sleeve to the middle.
I see that Blake left a note on the tag board about “not understanding why things happen to us.” I’ve said on many occasions that I’m glad we don’t HAVE to understand, but his comment reminded me of an old hymn we used to sing called “Someday I’ll Understand.” It was written by Lydia Leech in 1911. I’ll leave you tonight with the words of that hymn.
I do not know why oft ’round me
My hopes all shattered seem to be;
God’s perfect plan I cannot see,
But someday I’ll understand.
Refrain:
Someday He’ll make it plain to me,
Someday when I His face shall see;
Someday from tears I shall be free,
For someday I shall understand.
I cannot tell the depth of love,
Which moves the Father’s heart above;
My faith to test, my love to prove,
But someday I’ll understand.
Though trials come through passing days,
My life will still be filled with praise;
For God will lead through darkened ways,
But someday I’ll understand.
