It is Done

We cleaned, we scrubbed, we planted, we power washed, we took down all personal items; we worked HARD to get our house ready for the market. Its not that we had a ton of work to do, we just didn't have any free hands to do it with! Sometimes Jason and I would just stare at eachother, the weight of needing to work weighing on our shoulders, with fussy, clingy (but incredibly cute) children crawling all over us. It was very stressful. But it is done. We met with the realtor today and signed the contract, she took pictures and the house will be officially on the market tomorrow! I dont like uncertainty of putting our house on the market. There is no guarantee it will sell and you have no clue when people will want to see the house. I am very anxious about the whole process. Thankfully, this verse was the Gospel Reading at Mass on Sunday.

Matthew 6:25-34 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

God is Good.

Here are some pics of Jason and the kids while he was trying to work in the yard.
Margaret Mary was trying to pick the flower heads off of the Marigolds that Jason was planting to spruce up the yard. We finally gave her one and she stuck the stem on her finger. That didnt seem to stop her from going after more...
