My List For Today

    Here is today. Once it was 24 hours but now it is only 13 hours. So quickly almost one half of my day is gone.  And where did I put my list of all I have to do today?  Oh, there it is on the table over there. Glad I found it.  Now can I see what I have done and what I have yet to do today. This is the only way I can stay on top of all the things I need to do. It seems I have so very much to do every day.
    Humm. I wonder if my Heavenly Father has a list of things for me to do today. I think I need to ask him to be sure. I do want to do what he wants me to and be sure I'm doing the right things.  Yes, tomorrow morning I'll ask. No, that's too late. I make my list the night before so I should ask him for his list for me at the same time. Then I can put them together and prioritize them. On the other hand, I know his list for things for me to do should come first.  Ok, this should make my days better. He knows what is best for me so he will add his purpose and joy to my day--no, to my days.
    This is great. Thank you Father for helping me see this.  I don't know why I'm so slow but this is the right way to spend my days . Thank you for your list for me and to know you are going with me to do all these things.  This changes my whole outlook.  It will make each day special because you are right here with me.  Wow!

A Unusual and Blessed Evening

        Have you ever felt like you were up on cloud nine?  When you have really been blessed your spirits do wonderful things for you. How did I have such a fantastic evening?  The answer is easy. The Lord gave me special friends and many came over tonight to give me hugs and blessings on my new adventure. What special encouragers they are.
       It all happened this way.  My sons feel at my "tender" age it is time for me to be close to one of them. My choices are Chicago, Houston, or Phoenix.  On September 15th they asked for my choice and  on September 17th I settled on Phoenix.  They also want me to be there before the snow falls in Indiana.  So a plan was made and I am leaving my friends here in Indiana and moving to Sun City West in Arizona November 15th.
      Tonight several of us were having dinner together and we ended up with a bit of singing, some prayers, and lots of hugs.  I was offered seven places to stay when I come back to visit. What a blessed time.
I also told them that I feel like Abraham must have felt as recorded in the 12th chapter of Genesis when the Lord told him to leave his home in Haran, the place where he had always lived, and go to the land of  Canaan. Of course it is much easier  for me as there are good roads, and good places to stay all night, and even McDonald's and Wendy's available along the way. I can stay in touch with my friends with all this modern technology now too. Yet it really feels like a new adventure and I do like adventures.
      Yes, it has been a blessed evening and I praise the Lord for all the support and love that filled the room tonight.  Wow!  Now I will go forward with eyes wide open looking for the new adventure the Lord has ready for me.
