I'm making a special, focused effort to notice the grace and glory of God in the small things today. Things like the taste of good food, the glory of a beautiful sunny day, the smiles of my children, and the love of great relationships. They are all gifts and our observance of them is part of a life that is fully awake to the glory and presence of God.
Hope you notice Him in the small things today.

choice...it is always choice...the 60/60 alarm goes off: what do i choose? simple reset? stop and check in with God? simply pray for the immediate circumstance i find myself in? what if He wants something else? what am i missing? what am i choosing? the choice to stop quickly becomes the simplest one to make. the choose of what to do next, now we have something to talk about...
ReplyDeleteToday I volunteered my time for manual labor. When I arrived on the job it was early, quiet.....just me and the paintbrush and my worship music. 1 hour into my peaceful serenity, an employee arrives, angry, chip on his shoulder, he cranks up some rock music and I feel my "self" about to explode, "beep beep, beep-beep," the alarm goes off and I am suddenly left as you say camcraiger, with a choice......the whole entire day 8 straight hours interruptions of the alarm, and every time, as silly as it seems, I believe God was in control of the radio waves, he had to tune into a different station and the music was no longer offensive, I actually enjoyed a few of them, and the employee lightened up a bit and even turned the music DOWN at one point as the day went on. The awareness that God is with me whether it is my alone time or a situation like this is so enlightening and refreshing. He can make even the frenzied moments peaceful when we stop, pray, acknowledge and believe ! jackie angle
