Average Day

                                               

...Its just a regular day Lord...

                                       

That's what hit me this morning as I sat down to read my bible.  As it is my habit, I always date my reading. Today it hit me. It's August 1, 2017, of course I started scanning my memory bank, someones birthday perhaps? An anniversary? 

I came up with nothing....then that still small voice of God said "So what will you do with it?"

I thought of my 92 yr. old father who when asked How are you today? responds "Well I'm here"  That response always strikes me, provoking a mouthful of responses, that I of course keep to myself....I am here...and I will be glad.

I continued as I do in the morning, I invited God in to my day, but I sensed that this ordinary date was gonna have Gods hand prints on it, especially so. I brought my petitions to him, I had to stop and deal with some bitter seeds that were beginning to sprout in my heart, which I had been ignoring, too prideful, too hurt to face them, but today, August 1st, I was ready to weed them out.....again.... 

I have a busy day planned, usually too busy to tell my 
 loves that I'm thinking of them, of course they know I love them, after all, I do pray for them.....but I considered that today I would use some of this day and display my love...scary...Help me Lord not to feel goofy or needy...and even if I do...please help me do it anyway...

then, as I was sowing love, I thought of my life long love, my husband. I stopped to consider the blessing he is to me and our kids and now grand kids, and I knew I wanted him to know of how much he fills my heart....Oh God, it will make me so transparent...he'll think I'm a pushover....Help me to sow that good seed please Lord...




The morning is almost gone, and there's still much to do, 
My ordinary day is turning into an extraordinary moment.
....Oh God please let me consider you in my acts and choices today. Amen.
