Thursday October 29 2015  AN ORDINARY DAY

What is an ordinary day?  I suppose it depends on who you ask.  Since my husband retired I don’t  know if we understand what an “ordinary day” is anymore.  No two have yet been the same.   The thesaurus synonym for “ORDINARY” is:  ‘normal, commonplace, usual, regular, everyday, conventional, average”.  I am beginning to forget what those words mean.  When I find out what my “normal” day is I’ll be certain to let you know.  If anyone would like to tell me what a normal day is I’d be glad to share it with my readers.

Today was another one of those hectic days that run out too soon.  I won’t go into a lot of detail because my clock is ticking fast if I plan to be in bed by 9:00 p.m.  But, I will tell you that all the photo equipment is in order, checked, tested, packed and waiting to be loaded in the morning at 5:45 a.m.  I must leave at 6:15 a.m. and that means I must aim for a 6:00 a.m. departure if I am to actually be on the road by 6:15 a.m.  It is now 8:02 p.m. and I must still shower.

Dave’s pain level is still a nuisance but he seems to be managing it okay with half a pill every so often.  He said he may try to go through the night without one. 

Fortunately for me I do not even need to stop and think about writing a poem tonight.  I will use the one I wrote this morning in my quiet time with the Lord.  This blog will be short and sweet due to my action packed day.  It is good to actually sit down for a few moments to chat with you as I have been on the go my feet most of the day.

Just in case my longtime friend Albert (who I’ve known since I was 6 years old) is reading the blog I send birthday wishes to him tomorrow.  We’ve shared a lot of birthday cards back and forth.  He is much better than I am at sending them out.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALBERT.  REMEMBER I LOVE YOU.  I LOVE YOU TOO MARK! 

DESERVING OF ALL

By Kathleen Martens

October 29, 2015

Oh God, thank You for this day.

I need You, every hour I need You.

I long to hear You and obey,

And Your plan my life ensue.

Open Your word that it will teach

What it is You want me to hear.

Deep into my soul probe and reach,

To rid me of doubt and fear.

Open my heart and fill it with compassion

That my heart will turn to the lost.

Your likeness Lord let me fashion

Regardless of what the cost.

For you are King—mighty above all.

In voice I worship, my hands I raise.

You are the Father who hears my call,

Deserving of all worship and praise.

Good night.  Tomorrow has the promise to be even busier , as I will be attending my grandson’s birthday party tomorrow evening.  Dave has chosen to stay home due to his precarious situation.  I hope I have time to blog!!!

P.S.  By the way, my grandson is awesome and so is his brother!
