Day 17


 Today I looked out the window, we were receiving the heaviest snow we have received this year, and honestly a long time.  Last week I saw this indention in the snow and wondered what caused it.  I saw no footprints, but it looked like someone was wrestling in that one place.  This morning I saw at least three crows in the yard, and they were pushing the snow to get to the ground.  They used their heads to push it away.   I did what any normal person would do, I googled it.  LOL   They were looking for food, insects.    That was the first time I have ever seen it myself and all three were doing the same thing.  

I thought how God created them to do, it is part of who they are created to be.  I have never liked a crow, honestly, I think of them as dark bird, meaning couldn't good birds.  LOL If I am quoting it correctly, the Bible says they will be used in the end to clean up all the dead bodies from the very last battle.   Yes, I know that is dark, but you get the point, I think they are not so good of a bird but look at the detail of the Creator in creating them.  He placed this ability in them.  The devil is not a creator, he has no ability to create, but twists the truth and counterfeits the original but we have one real Creator.  And his detail in creating the crow as part of this circle of life for a specific purpose.    What more detail He places in creating me.  How specific He is with me.   

Today I am thankful for seeing something new in my own back yard, for my friend who cleared the snow once by twice today.  For a day off, today we honor a great civil rights leader, who served God and led the march for unity and equality.  I pray his message continues to live on.

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...
