I thoroughly enjoy waking up and reading about everybody else's lives - through facebook, and blogs. I sit here doing my morning routine as Rigby tries to trim my fingernails for me by chewing on my fingers, and barks at me restlessly to go for a walk - little does she know it's 90 some degrees outside! I enjoy my little hobbies, like quilting, cleaning up the house (that should totally count as a hobby), and cooking and baking! And the more I think about the mundane - the routine - the more I realize that those things are a privilege as well! It's not just the big things like going to the ocean for a day, or going home for 5 days that are truly a blessing, it's the everyday things that are truly a blessing. I'm thankful that I have the strength and energy to keep our apartment in decent shape. I'm thankful that I have a way to connect with friends even though we live so far apart. I'm thankful that I have my sewing machine, and fabric - and agile hands unworn by age for quilting with. I'm thankful for Rigby who is my friend and companion. I'm thankful for my husband who puts in long hours at work so that we can go home this weekend, and spend a day at the beach tomorrow. I'm thankful for the sunshine and warm weather, I'm thankful for the beauty in pictures - especially wedding pictures - from afar. I'm thankful that I have a bible to read - and have access to that bible nearly everywhere. I truly believe that we should adopt some form of reading the bible together every day - I know that may be hard, but we nearly always have the bible with us, and nearly always eat dinner together. Lord, thank you for these wonderful ideas of how to incorporate you, and your word into our daily lives. I pray that you would make time for us, and that we would be able to focus on you before silly things like work, and cleaning. Amen.
Love, Sara
