Some thoughts, lessons, and/or reflections from the day:
- It’s 9:55 PM and I’ve finally finished my work for the day so I sit in my office writing today’s page to unwind before heading home.
- It was another beautiful night sky as I headed into work this morning but still no moon visible. I eventually discovered why when I saw it crest the eastern tree line early in the afternoon — it’s just on a more daytime cycle at the moment.
- The soundtrack in my mind has been pretty consistent all day, though it keeps getting louder. 🙂 “Precious Lord, take my hand. Lead me on, help me stand. I am tired, I am weak, I am worn.”
- After the usual prayer, cleaning, and building prep it was back to trying to get answers from a service company. I did finally get a call back, but all they could tell me was that they would have to research the issue further and would get back to me . . . sometime.
- In between the calls and messages related to that, I finished another week’s daily devotions for the next prayer-based devotional book. This chapter was focused on serving with honesty.
- Being a Friday, I anticipated a late day so by mid-afternoon I took a late lunch and spent some time with God along the river.
- While sitting there, I had a poem show up in my mind and surprisingly it stayed there until I got back to the office and could type it out. If you’ve not seen it on this blog site already, you can find it here: “Words“.
- After the extended lunch hour, it was time to head back to the building and type out the poem before starting the evening cleaning and building prep for the weekend.
- I think one of the most difficult things in life is knowing I don’t measure up, but one of the best things in life is knowing that God doesn’t measure me by any human’s standard . . . including my own.
- I guess today’s photo is part of the “reflections” from the day. 🙂 While I was at the river, I noticed the wood ducks were back for the spring so I shot this photo of one of them as he swam through some partially submerged brush.
Wood ducks are so fancy looking! They are the “peacocks” of the ducks.
The wood ducks are some of my favorites. I often call them “wooden ducks” because they look like someone bought some wooden decoys and painted them up all fancy. 🙂
