It's week two of 2010. I've been trying to manage my time better...*NEWSFLASH*... from this morning: Time cannot be managed, it's actually ME that needs managing. I really knew that. That's why it's so hard. I have to change.
Right now, it would be easier to focus on the negative that seems to surround me, but this is the place where I share the positive, the "Gifts" I have received from God.
307. Drinking coffee and knitting with my neighbor and good friend.
308. Listening, for a change, instead of doing all the talking. *I need to do more of this. Make a note...
309. The guys (our nephew and three friends) accepting Craig's invitation to attend a "Wild Game Dinner" at a local church.
310. Quiet time at home, alone with the dog.
311. Mia snuggling up behind me while I work on the computer.
312. A walk in the sunshine with my hubby and dog on a cold, snowy day.
313. Getting to the halfway mark in my knitting project - that's an accomplishment!
314. Hugs from lots of women at church.
315. A call from Mom, who is vacationing in Hawaii.
I confess that I stumbled a bit today, having a little "pity party" over what I have "given up". It is nothing compared to what I have gained in You, Lord! Thank you for helping me to re-focus on the principles of this morning's message: "God's schedule never distracts, destroys, discourages, disappoints, or defeats." Lord, help me to live this out loud!
