Sunday, Sunday and Sunday I ought to treat it differently and mostly I do, but sometimes I just treat it like another Saturday. I need to do better. I thought of one of my 'thoughts': SOMETIMES GOOD IS THE ENEMY OF GREAT. Today was a good day, but perhaps it could have been great with a little less of this and a little more of that. I heard something in Sunday School today that caught my attention. The teacher was reading a statement by an Apostle (I can't remember which one) which was describing talents or gifts that one might be blessed with. One that surprised me was the 'gift of pondering'. I do believe that I have that gift. I do now, but did not always have it. I should count it as having been given to me (after all it is a 'gift'). And now that I see it for what it is I need to hold on to it and cherish it all the more. Who says you can't learn something from an average teacher. (I guess that I have, but I was wrong.)
I read Shelli's blog and re-felt those good, but soggy feelings about what is going on in her life. She quoted me in telling her that there need to be receivers in order for there to be givers. I hope that with practice it won' be as uncomfortable for her to be given something by people who love her and want good things for her and her family. Maybe I too could do it better too. I did get a couple of good compliments today at church and I admit that I too was a little uncomfortable. So here we are, all of us on the same journey and one of the many things that we need to learn is to be good givers and receivers. ( actually two of many, many many things) Night, Hope to know that you are alive by you making comments to me on my blog!
