isn't it ironic...don'cha think

So I should research this a little more but isn't irony the same as God teaching us?
For instance  -Baby, dog and I got caught in the rain Sunday on our morning jog (yes.  we jog instead of going to church mostly) and I was thinking that that was empowering!  That I was proving to anyone that was jogging past or even driving by that not only was I a working mom who was satisfying all of her family components needs but that I could do it in the rain!!  yes yes.  I could do it sopping wet.
And then  -I called my mom-in-law late in the day today to say that I was sorry I didn't get back to her sooner but I didn't need a daycare pickup for the kid or supper cooked.  That we just looked fried because it was a bad work week but Monday was already off to a better start.  and where were my mom and dad-in-law?  Mopping out our flooded basement.

Because for Noah when it rained it poured!  And when I wanted to cry because the basement was mess and everything was on the floor and my husband had just moved all his band equipment back down I remembered that the rain just makes us look stronger!  It proves to people that we can do it!!  We can get through our time on earth and still come out in heaven in the end.
PRAISE BE TO GOD
(that just seemed appropriate to declare)

    Yes, it seems that water in your basement is God's way of making you stronger - because, you just seem to get water down there regularly and you are getting stronger. I wish we were there to help - glad your work week at least went better than the rain at home....
