A Day that is Gray







I am musing.....

about a day that is gray.

 Gray days. They come. Sometimes it seems, they stay.
There is a difference in my book between a gray day and an array of gray days.

One gray day means a day to slow down a bit, a day for maybe more reflection, to read a bit more, bask in the "cozy", to make a cup of tea.

And that goes okay for maybe another day or two.

But once the gray day becomes a gray week....

Well, if you are like me, it can kind of "get to me".

So what's your go to? What distracts you? Helps you?

What helps me?
Reach out to a friend.
Keep busy.
Make goals/lists.
Write.
Read.
Run to Bloomington/shop/study at a coffee shop (pre-Corona)
Bake.
Try to bring sunshine to others.

There. Should we not always be about that? Bringing sunshine to others?
If these gray days help to refocus me off my self and my own busy life, is there not great value in that?

And then when God sends a glorious day of bright, beautiful sunshine, does not our heart rejoice?
Even as the gray seasons of life helps us appreciate more those seasons that shine?

Haven't we found that, spiritually speaking, our gray seasons are actually when we are experiencing the warmth of the Son more intimately in our hearts?

So, when the days grow gray, may we all look to the Source of sunshine, and pray for His grace and power. May His Son shine in our hearts and lives!

Thank You and God Bless!!

  Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...

It is just not like being there

  I am musing about.... It is just not like being there. Picture this. You have a precious (dream like) opportunity to talk with your great grandpa. He asks, "So how was church on Sunday?" "It was good" you respond.  "We watched online."                                                                                      Can you imagine his response??  "WHAT is online "?? In this Covid world, online church has become a reality for many. I admit that it is a WONDERFUL  option for those who need or desire to stay away from crowds, who are ill or at risk. How many times this year have I thanked God for the blessings of technology. Providing a chance to "almost feel like you are there".  But you aren't. And it is not the same. There is just something abo...

Preeminence

I am musing.... about Preeminence Preeminence. I LOVE that word! I use that word...alot. I think it. I pray it. I go back to it. Time and again. It gives me comfort and realignment. It helps me navigate life. It gives hope, reassurance, peace and purpose. Why? Because of the context in which I use it. CHRIST IS THE PREEMINENCE! He is my all-in-all! He is on the throne! He has all things. He is all knowing and all powerful and all present! And there-in I find hope and comfort and reassurance and peace and realignment and purpose. When Satan throws those darts of doubt and fear, I raise my shield of faith and shout from my soul “HE IS THE PREEMINENCE!” Life can be going along. Hunky Dory. Life is good. I have been able to touch base with all the kiddos and the grandkiddos:) I have had my sweet grandbaby-time (whether in my arms or on Facebook). My hubby seems happy and content. The house is clean (enough). Work is going well. Bible Study is scheduled for th...
