Surely, you've experienced time away from the normal routine of life whether the interruption was due to celebration or sorrow, sickness or vacation. Once the interlude has passed, you find yourself settling back in. Chores and work schedules resume. Laundry, dishes, running errands, sending loved ones off to work and welcoming them upon their return all come back into view once again. Life goes on.
Amidst all the joys and necessities, the most important portion of my day, any day, is the time I spend in God's word, reading, studying, meditating. As much as I tried daily to get into His word during our recent vacation, I wasn't very successful and I truly longed . . . ached actually, for it. So, naturally for me, a big part of settling back in is resuming my Bible study.
Since returning from our fabulous getaway to mountains, lakes and wooded trails I have been blessed to have finally caught up with a very close friend. We spent hours sitting in my yard last evening sharing as the light faded and then disappeared completely. I have been aching for that precious time of reconnecting.
While I've caught up on laundry, my cupboards are pretty bare - a trip to the market is on today's agenda . . . among other things.
Another thing to get caught up on is relaying to you some of our recent birding adventures and sightings. Here's a tease . . . some of the best birding can happen in your own backyard or close by!
