Part of the "Desert Song" was going through my head this morning: All of my life, in every season, you are still God, I have a reason...to sing, I have a reason to worship... And here is another phrase that I really like: I will sing praise, I will sing praise, no weapon formed against me shall remain...
Because of someone's fears of icy roads today, I had an unexpected Saturday at home! As I stood at my kitchen sink this morning, bright sunlight streaming in, I laughed with delight and thought, How good God is! I basked in the warmth as I scrubbed my dirty dishes, of many days, with lavender-scented soap.
Six weeks ago a friend challenged me with who I am and who I want to be. This led to my decision to start writing down "Gifts" (things I'm thankful for) again. My goal was to write 5 every day...some days I had a hard time stopping with 5...other days...I could barely squeeze 5 out...
Here are the last few:
- No deadlines on a Saturday morning! (Having to work a lot of Saturdays the last couple months has made me even more grateful for this.)
- Purple, lavender-scented dishwashing soap.
- Baking granola loaded with butter and honey.
- Check from Ark Valley Electric.
When I moved 2 1/2 years ago I had to change electric companies. Now this much later they sent me a "retirement" check. If I recall correctly they already sent me one but maybe their computers screwed up or maybe God was just giving me a little extra bonus. Either way I say, "Bring it on!"
And now...I'm gonna go finish my Christmas decorating! A merry day to you too!
