Day 39

 

I was coming home today; I was coming to a popular neighborhood at a four way stop.  There was a man who threw his stuff to the ground and was having a deep and confrontational conversation with someone who was not there. He was under the influence of something. 

I remember when the main concern at a stop sign or light is making sure no one runs it.  Now you have to watch that you do not his someone. They stand asking for donations and you wonder do I give or do I not give. 

You know their sign is probably not the truth but lies to prompt someone's heart to give.  To reward a lie.  I think that most of us prompt a lie in our life to obtain some kind of reward. Whether that is acceptance or gain attention.   The thing is, God know our truth and he asks us where you are, who told you that.  I think how He knows everything about us past, present and future.  Yet we try to hide the truth.    Life yelling for us to stop the action but distracted and missing the whisper.   Today I am thankful He does not stop the whispering, even when I miss it.  He never stops prompting and pursuing the one who desires relationship with Him.    

Today,  I am thankful for blue skies and sunshine.  armer temperatures.   For a day that went fast.  The opportunity to try something new in order to help someone else.   Sharing something I learned in the word and sharing it.  For my dad's smile when days are hard for him. For an unexpected laughter.  For know God is detailed and nothing will be wasted.

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...
