Tender Mercies!
What a wonderful thing to share.
So many...I'll start with recent.
This week I went on a bike ride with my 7 year old daughter. She rides her bike and I ride mine pulling my youngest three in the trailer. This is a special gift because I work 6 days of the week babysitting extra children and so to have off and be with just my own 4 is a precious event. We rode to the play group gathering at the splash pad. On the return trip my 9 month old starts to get grumpy from being squished in the bike trailer with her brothers (it really only holds two) and needing a nap, truth be told I get a little grumpy too... it's a warm day...my leg muscles are weak;)
We arrive home and rush inside. I put my baby down for her nap and immediately my daughter wants to ride her bike out front.
More? I am surprised. Outside we go, she goes to the left one house and than my 4 year old leaves his trike and comes running to tell me she needs my help.
Her chain has broken/come undone. (not something I know how to fix)
I take the moment to share with my children what a blessing this was that Heavenly Father kept her bike protected until we were home. What a rotten afternoon it would have been if we had had to walk with our bikes all the way back with screaming baby! We remembered in our evening prayers to thanks our father above for remembering us with his tender mercies!
