What should I do?

I'm enjoying a hour at home by myself. The kids have been going down the street every day after lunch this week to attend a five day backyard Bible Club. They have very much enjoyed learning about Hudson Taylor. I almost feel lost! I don't really know what to do when I have time to myself as that doesn't happen very often. Today I am starting to get ready for our camping trip. We are leaving on Sunday morning to head down to Lake Metigoshe to spend several days camping with my sister and her family. This would be our fourth year in a row to be in the same place with the same people - except last year our trip to Mexico took over the planned camping. The kids are very excited to see their cousins and to be camping. We have raised three kids that love camping!
The weather looks to be hot the whole week and we are looking forward to being at the water and just relaxing.

Yesterday it was so hot and I kept thinking about how nice it would be to sit and relax in the hammock. As nice as I thought it would be to have the hammock appear this morning the space is still bare. I started to pray that the people who stole it would feel guilty and return it and then I begin to wonder if the Lord is concerned about me losing my hammock or the heart of those who took it. I'm sad that it is gone, but I am pretty sure the Lord of the universe is more concerned with where their heart is at. So, I pray that my hammock will be a seed in the journey of them coming to know the Savior. My slow process of letting go and starting to see the bigger picture of the journey of life loving Jesus - something that doesn't come easy to me many time. Small steps at a time.
