Day 38


 Today was Monday, it was a beautiful day.  

I find myself thankful that ABBA gave me another day by waking me up.   I thanked Him early for a new day and I asked to see Him in my day.   

Today, my dad woke up really struggling, I am thankful it settled, and my mom was able to do today with him.  Abba carried them both.

I am thankful for provision of all my needs and wisdom for all the decisions that I needed to make today.  

I am thankful for the redtail hawk I saw on my way home.  It flew right in front of my car like it was screaming look at me.   I am thankful for the fly over because I always think of my dad when I see a hawk because he taught me what to look for and I love to see them fly.   Other than an eagle, they glide in the most beautiful way.  

I am thankful that nothing is wasted with God, that HE sees the bigger picture when I do not.   Today's reading was detailed about the building of the tabernacle and at first, I struggled in the reading but in listening to the podcast, I realized that all that was used in the building was given to them by the Egyptians before they left, and the talent given to them.

I heard the best quote from Billy Graham, he was giving a sermon and he was talking about the at least 20 gifts listed in the New Testament, and he then spoke of the fruits of the Spirit and how he would rather exhibit the fruits of the Spirit rather than have a gift if there was a choice, that he wanted his life to exhibit the gifts of the Spirit.  I would think that would be the most ultimate goal.   I pray so for myself.

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...
