Truth

Holy God,

Thank You! Another night of getting to fall asleep. Wake up. And go back to sleep. Many times. Thank You for this luxury and privilege.

Thoughts of You. Reminders of Your presence. Opportunities to again thank and praise You. Indeed. Thank You for the various ways You get Your Truth across to us.

Music that sings out ♪Love Changes Everything♪ Mm, yes Lord. Reminders of Your Truth surround us. Praise You for Your continued presence in our days.

Opportunity to work fairly unblown in the yard yesterday allowed me to consider the disciples’ experience with Jesus when He calmed the storm. Turning now to read how Mark (4:35-41) described His power over nature.

(1:07 p.m.)

Oh so many hours later and here I am thanking You for the ways You continue changing me. Guiding me out into the wind, I found a brand new appreciation for it. Confessing windy days as not my favorite, You helped me enjoy my time in it.

Researching health benefits of wind, I found many warnings. And only one advantage. Kite flying! Thank You God.

(2:29 p.m.)

Yes, thank You! Having thought to find a way to change my focus in advance found me smiling as I sang out ♪Let’s Go Fly A Kite up to the highest height Let’s go fly a kite and sending it soaring Up through the atmosphere Up where the air is clear Oh, let’s go fly a kite♪

Father God, near constant awareness that we always have choices allowed me to go out in the windy elements and truly enjoy myself. You did that Lord. And I thank You.

Another testament to the Truth of Your teachings is Your ever present reminder that I can choose what thoughts I let take up my own brain space. Fear? Conflict. Resentments. Or love? Peace. Forgiveness. Truth. Your good and glorious Truth!

(4:59 p.m.)

You keep teaching me Lord. And I continue being grateful. Use what is left of this day to Your good and to Your glory. I love You. I need You. I want You. Thank You Father. Amen.
