It has been hard for me to get out for walks since having the baby with us. Today, I finally said to dd that we would take a walk with the baby. I normally go by myself or with dd8 because we live on a hill and it is tough getting back up with a stroller. The weather has been a little unsettled with occasional showers. However, at this point the sun was shining and I needed exercise.
I pushed the stroller with baby down the steep driveway. As we started down the road I said to dd, "Look at that dark cloud. I hope it doesn't rain." We were looking for wild flowers and talking about picking some on our way back. We were probably about a quarter mile from home when we started feeling some raindrops. I said, "It probably won't last long." We started home and as we walked it began to rain a little harder. We were hurrying then and about halfway back home it just poured. The baby needed carrying. DD8 was pushing the stroller and becoming quite upset. So, we went into a horse path our neighbor had made parallel to the road which took us up a steep grade just behind our house. I was carrying 20+lb baby in one arm and trying to pull the stroller up with the other in drenching rain.
(And I had just visited the chiropractor on Monday)
Needless to say, we didn't get our wild flowers and we all were soaked to the skin. But it ended in a laugh.
And, it will be something exciting to tell dad when he gets home.
Oh! As soon as we made it to the top of the hill just yards from our house, the rain stopped and the sun was out again.
Isn't knowing the Creator so exciting!
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. III John 4
