Remember the scene from The Sound of Music where Maria is talking with Mother Superior after she’s come back from the von Trapp home and the kids are outside begging for her to return? Mother Superior tells Maria, when God closes a door, He opens a window. It happened to me at the library yesterday.
I returned the still unfinished The Search for Goliathus Hercules and picked up some other books I had on hold. Walking to the checkout station, I saw MULTIPLE COPIES of Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein, just waiting for me.
If I didn’t have to work today, I’d have stayed up all night reading it. I only made it to page 42 last night, but I’m bringing it to work today & might hide it under my desk while I teach.
AND it is picture day at school and I’m wearing the sweater I made as my reader’s response to Code Name Verity.
I have a feeling it is going to be a GREAT day today. Forgive me if you catch me singing Climb Every Mountain.
