Some dear friends of ours went to a resort for a romantic getaway.  When they got there, they discovered there was a UFO convention there.  They said there were a lot of interesting people and events there.  I’m sure this wasn’t exactly what they had in mind when they scheduled the weekend at the upscale resort.  But I’m sure they made the most of it and had a wonderful time.

I can’t help but wonder:  what are the parallels in the Stepmom world?  Romantic newleyweds encountering “aliens” and “UFOs”?  Say no more, right?  As a stepmom one encounters a lot of strange situations and “aliens” that she hadn’t expected to.  If you are a stepmom and reading this, I bet you can think of lots of “aliens” and “UFOs” that you have had to gracefully deal with.  So many times you thought you were going to have a romantic evening with your husband but a UFO convention cropped up.

I’m thankful today that God gave me a wonderful spouse to weather storms….er….aliens and UFOs with.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, 12:  “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:  If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

What are you thankful for today?
