Gluing Paper Chains

Can you imagine the sorrow? Picture this scenario, you make a paper chain to count the number of days to your highly anticipated event. Day by day you get the joy of tearing off one little link. You watch as the Boa Constrictor slowly turns into a Gardner snake and then into a worm. Excitement builds as you are tearing off the last ones. And then, everything changes. Bad News! The courier for our computer just informed us that that it will arrive one week later than expected. So, here we are with sticky fingers, gluing our paper chain back together. But, in spite of the fact that our little worm just morphed back into a Gardner snake, we will keep our heads held high. I wish I would have waited to write that previous post about the blessings of going without a computer. It was easy to write when we thought we were 3 days from getting our computer. Now, I have to really try to be thankful for those hidden blessings I was referring to. Oh well, by Grace. By Grace!

Ah, I know the feeling. I was likewise *forced* to wait one more week for my beloved books to arrive.
