Day 29

I was looking out this morning, I enjoy watching how the sun dances in the snow and the play of the light.   I found myself drifting off into wonder...

How will this day go...

How will it be different...

In todays reading, Jacob dies but before he does, he blesses his sons.  The promise extends to the next generation. Gods word says that Jacob drew his last breath and then he was gathered to his people.  One simple sentence, he was gathered to his people.  I wonder about that day.  To finally see and touch Jesus, and to see the face of God and honestly, I believe I will be able to see the Holy Spirit at that time.  

I find myself thinking of our eternal destination, I am sure part of it is because I am watching my dad walk his way home, thought only God knows that time,  I see that he is closer to home than ever.  I am thankful that dad knows Jesus as his savior and that eternity will be beautiful for him.  Though I am no where ready to let him go, I trust God for that as well, knowing I can even beat him there, though we always say we will be raptured together.   That would work too. 

It was a really cold day today so starting my day thinking this as I stare out the window about process of it all.  Choosing to trust the ONE who writes my story.  

Today I am thankful for unexpected pictures being sent to me, for thank you notes in the mail from one who you are thankful still allows you in their life.    I am thankful for the short nap before the chores.  I am thankful for the WORD that feels so personal and real to me.  Seeing the new in the old being read. I am thankful for the ones who join me on the journey and say they are learning too.  It is about today, the now, its doing outside myself.  Serving the ones you placed in my path today.  It is for looking out my window and seeing my driveway cleared again.   They will never know what that means.  God provides, in mysterious ways and unexpected people.  May I be opened to receive and acknowledge the Giver and the giver.

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

Image
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...
