Meditation Monday

Hello again! We're still here...still breathing!

It has been quite a while since we've been able to post here, due to travels and computer issues. Even though were back home, the computer is still on the fritz, so I'm writing now from a different computer. I wanted to check in and let you all know what's been going since the last post.

The trip to see my grandmother went wonderfully, despite getting hit with heavy bands of rain from the Tropical Storm Beryl. The downpours gave us time inside together to visit, read, cook, and in general, slow down and relax. We definitely took advantage of the intermittent sunshine though to enjoy the fresh air and look for any birds crazy enough to hang around through all the rain. We found a few, including Mississippi Kite (a new one for us northerners) and family of Northern Parulas showing off their spring finery.

Since coming home, life has settled into a normal routine of keeping up with household chores, work, and enjoying being back in our home church. It's so refreshing and revitalizing to be worshiping with those we know and love, once more...to have your heart awakened again by the praising God in music...to have your soul convicted by the truth of God's word through the speakers. Personally, this last week showed me that I was getting my priorities off track and I needed to pull my focus away from life's daily chores and back to my Savior. My prayer now is one of thanks to the Lord for giving me yet another opportunity to do things His way. I have been reminded that I can trust Him in all things, for He is faithful.

Hopefully, your time recently has been filled with blessings to overflowing! Enjoy them and spread your joy to those around you.

Till next time,
Stephanie
