What does God do?:  notes to myself He brings times of drought. Haggai 1:9-11 9 "You look for much, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I blow it away. Why?" declares the LORD of hosts, "Because of My house which lies desolate, while each of you runs to his own house. 10 "Therefore, because of you the sky has withheld its dew and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 "I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor of your hands ."   "COME BACK TO ME."

Mom and kids get frustrated because it seems like the work is never-ending. Kids complain, Mom fusses. Repeat #4 again and again with mounting tension and frustration.  Mom breaks, kids give up. Mom feels like a failure, kids think Mom is kind of a freak. Throw...
