Day 13

I am thankful for the time I was able to spend with Vicki, it was nice being with a friend and just eating and talking.   We went to the drive in to reduce people exposure.  We used to go there when we were teenagers.   She is my oldest in time known friend, and I thankful for her.   I am thankful she shares her kids with me who are grown women, but I have known them since birth.   I am thankful for the pause from my normal routine and to discuss God.   Her sister is my other dear friend.  I am thankful for them being family to me.

I started to write the date July 13, 2022, I have no idea why I was writing this and makes me wonder what the time holds from then to now.  What will fill the space of these days.  Suffering? Laughter?  Tears? Joy?  Loneliness?  Love?  I cannot guess it; His plan is way too large for me to guess it.  But for now, I am thankful for the day that carried friendship in a week that felt hard.   I am thankful for what He is teaching me in this season.   Abba, I go to lay my head down, I know that I can because it is only through You, I can lay in safety.  It is through You only can I lay down knowing that You hold my next breath, but I lay down in peace knowing that it is also in your hands.

Day 10

 It was very cold this morning, but the light felt so near, so bright, I love how the light dances on this building.  Sometimes it is more noticeable than others.  Today the brightness was beautiful, light dancing on the church.  This church is so beautiful on the inside, it is an aged church but has such history on the inside.   I remember attending a small wedding decades ago in one of the parlors in the church.  A simple repeating of vows.   Wild how you can attend such an intimate ceremony, but decades later not see the people any longer.  Not from anger or episode but simply time and life.   Not sure why I remember that tonight when I have walked past this church hundreds of times on my way to work.  Today, I am thankful for peace, for my parents having a good day with each other.    I am thankful for the continued reading in Job and him saying that the fear of the Lord, is wisdom and turning away from evil ...

Day One 1-1-22

It started with a thunderstorm, with lightening flashing in the sky and rain dancing on the roof.   I could stand on the porch without a jacket and in my pajama's.  Then I heard the birds singing in the bush outside of the window in the bathroom.   If I did not know what day it was, I would think it was a spring day developing.  What came to mind, a new day, a new year, and a new season.   Today I started the reading plan for the chronological read that I just completed yesterday, again.   Today I felt giddy in getting to start again.   I am excited to see what You ABBA have to show me this year.

Day 5

 This morning I noticed the glow in the sky,  I could not help but run out to see the colors that were not bright but covered the majority of where I could see.   I immediately thought of the proverb, orange skies in morning, sailor warning. Orange skies at night sailor's delight.  I immediately wondered what this day would hold.    Then I kept hearing the part of the 23rd Psalm where it says yea though I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thy rod and thy staff comfort me.    I again, wondered what the day would hold.   I was provoked in thought by someone who said there was a difference between if a person dies and when you start looking at when they die.  That this is a shift in a journey.  It provoked my thinking because we tend to land on if a person dies when in reality, we all are going to face death at some point, so the better question is when.   But what makes that difficult is wh...
