In my daily reading, I came across an event that happened that makes absolutely no common sense to me. The event is found in Numbers chapter 16.

Come to Me
He stands open and relaxed with a hand outstretched toward me. The hand he has before me is rough, calloused, as if he has been working hard labor since his youth.

There have been so many things in my life that have gone unnoticed and unappreciated. Sometimes, I remember to thank God for things that I have or things that have happened.

This morning was a typical morning. I got the children off to school for the day. My husband got ready, and then he set off to work for the day. And I began my normal routine for the day.
