It is brisk here in the Hill Country of Texas. It is 6:30 am and I have been up since 2 am. I fell into a deep sleep at 8 pm last night. One of those days! Aging takes place when the bed looks inviting before 8 pm. I am blessed to get up early, as that is my time with God. He is always waiting to hear my prayers or read them. We have the best time, early in the morning.
Joey had trouble with his truck battery this morning and I took him to work. The grocery store is only 3 miles from our house. He will work on it tonight when he gets here. John gets up at 5 am to take his prunes and medicine. He woke up grabby and went back to bed. The more, I read God's word the more understanding I try to be. John has days when I wonder if he needs care outside the home. Sometimes, he gets right down mean. John feels sorry for John. He wonders why he is still alive and wishes he could just die. Oh, my! I don't understand that attitude, when he has so much to live for. He use to read the word and now he isn't interested. He is floating away from God and he should be trying to get closer. I will step up my prayers for him.
Yesterday, when John and I finished grocery shopping and were walking back to the car, I heard a young man in his late 20's cussing out his girlfriend, sister, wife or whoever. He went in the store after he slammed the car door. After we had unloaded our groceries in the trunk of the car, I walked over to see if that lady was okay. She was on her phone, so I was unable to talk to her. I thought about her this morning and this why I write. Why do people treat each other so mean? Why do they cuss and slam things? The left is always cussing and complaining and the right just seems to let them get away with it. Why are people so hateful? Respect is a behavior they never learned. It takes so little time to be kind and loving. In the past, I have walked away and written
that person off. I was wrong to do that.
12 hours later!
First time I sat down all day. I took Joey to work. Went to the grocery story in Wimberley and home to make Texas Trash, 6 dozen chocolate chip cookies and cleaning up the kitchen. I am tired. I am taking this tray of cookies and trash to church tomorrow to share with the sweet young men that are part of the program to transform their lives and serve Christ. I love those boys. I took some little snack cups to Joey's friends at work with a bag for refills. I added a refill bag for the boys at church.
The promise for today is: You will have perfect peace if you keep focused on Me.
Isaiah 26:1
I look forward to working on my memorization chapter tonight. Psalms 103! Here I come!
Be blessed! Tomorrow is HIS day.
Love is in my ink.
