God had such a wonderful idea when He made a day of rest. (Of course, all of God's ideas are wonderful!) However, it is good to have a day set aside for rest and worship. A special time to deliberately say, "Today, I will worship the Lord. Today is the day I focus on Him." I try in my daily tasks and work to reflect Him. After all He did say.....six day shalt thou labor. But the thought of a day for Him...... I love it!

We had a special surprise for church today. A concert pianist showed up to play for the morning service and stayed the day with us. He also played for the evening service and sang not one but two songs! If you don't know this person he has two sisters. Both are amazing teachers and all three of these people have a heart for God. Which makes this writer extremely proud, blessed, thankful and a little bit giddy.

BTW.......... it is after September 15th. the bugs have slowed down their endless zzzzzzzzz and the fall of the year is upon us. I think it is great that my least favorite time of year is followed by my most favorite time of year!

Well, summer is nearing an end. My family knows that the time from about August 9th to September 15th is my most unfavored time of year. The cool days of Autumn have not yet arrived and the summer days are old and tired. The days just don't have the strength to muster any more excitement and fun. They are just there - still being summer and looking a little old. The days give me the feeling of wanting to move on but just tired and unmotivated. Then there are the bugs......... How I am annoyed by the zzzzzzzzzzzz comes on many levels.
Wait. Stop.
Autumn will come with its cool crisp days. Soup, fires, and warm company will come. They will come. Looking forward to it.

Here is the lesson.
The old will pass. The new refreshing is coming. The annoying tired days (with their bugs) will come to an end, schedules will emerge and a new era will arrive.

Be patient.
Be calm.
Be ready.
Be watching.

The King of Kings....He is coming.

Wow! I finally am back. It has been over a year. Resetting the password is great. Now if I could only collect my thoughts! So much has happened in a years time. Still have the one goal in mind....further up and further in. Always learning about Jesus and His Love. Hope to be back soon. (I'm writing down the password. HA!)
