Wow. Been a while. I think God has a sense of humor. This morning I was doing my quiet time, something I do everyday as a tool of a program that I am. It's also extremely helpful to do before I go out the door in the morning. Still working full time at a local college. A nice job.
So today's share is about how when I do my quiet time, little tiny miracles happen. I try to write every morning as part of my Quiet Time (QT) ritual. I've been doing this for about 10-12 years and rarely start my day without it. I love it. If I wake up sad or depressed or just plain overwhelmed (especially on Monday's), I sit down with my cup of coffee, my literature and my cheap composition notebook (which I'm making a pretty cover for). I read my stuff and then take the time to write just what is on my mind. I start of with "Good Morning God, Thank you for this Day" and then I just write whatever is in my head. Now I am not a Bible thumper by any means, but that does not mean that I don't read the bible and benefit from it tremendously. The older I get and the more mistakes I make in my life, I realize that the bible has a lot of comfort in it. One of the big messages I get from it is that I am not doing this life thing alone and that my God or Higher Power (whichever you prefer ) is so there helping me and wants me to ask for help. It's only taken me 50 some odd years to realize this. I love the scriptures and the Psalms. They give me hope in this world that can sometimes be a tad scary.
Anywhooo, back to the miracles. So I noticed when I start to write on my simple white paper with blue lines and red line down the side, that as soon as I start writing, a lot of time all of a sudden the sun comes out from behind a cloud (I sit outside or in my sunroom) and beams on my white paper with blue lines. I kid you not. Weird things like that happen all the time. If it's raining out or dreary, sometimes a cardinal will land on the bird feeder outside my window and look in at me with it's head cocked the way that they do. This always happens the minute I write, "Good Morning God." Hee heee. Is that cool or what? Well I don't take it for granted. No siree. I highly recommend you try it. It at least is a good way to start the day. See if you notice any funny little miracles. I say God has a sense of humor because it makes me feel giddy and silly when it happens.
It's hard to have blind faith, but little things like that make me realize, "Wow, I'm not here doing it all by myself, and it's a good entity that is here with me." Just had to share that.
I'll show you the cool cover I'm making for my boring composition book as I get more work done on it. That's it for today. I'll try to share as often as possible little readings or words of inspiration that totally give me that silly happy feeling that I get when I sit down and gear up for the day with lovely QT.
