I know, it's been quite a while since my last blog post. What can I say? Sometimes I can't seem to link two strings of thought together. I'm sitting here sipping my hot cocoa, staring out the window at the grey sky trying to think up something witty to entertain you with, but I've got nothing. Well, it's not because life is so boring around here that it provides no material to write about......oh no. Quite the opposite, in fact. Life keeps skipping right on by full to the brim of things I want to share with you, but when I sit here poised at the keyboard...............nothing comes. *sigh* Ugh. Writing can be frustrating sometimes.
My husband thinks I should write a book. To be honest, I wouldn't have the slightest idea what in the world to write about, but the thought has presented itself in my own brain on more than one occasion. Hmm.....I don't know where that fits right now. Maybe someday in the future I will be inspired to whip out sort of witty repartee or a poignant touching story for you all to enjoy. I don't know. I will wait for Holy Spirit inspiration on that one. And I can't say that you will be the first to know I'm doing it for fear that the pressure will be too great and I will give up due to severe writers block. I will promise this: you'll be the first to see the finished product. How's that?
I ran across a wonderful quote today that was promptly added to my collection:
“Change is good in a way that childbirth is good, heartbreak is good and failure is good . . . it can push us, pull us, rebuke us and remake us. . . it is a function of God’s graciousness not life’s cruelty.”
That's good. It's true. I am so entirely thankful that God is gracious to us. Me in particular. I often feel like I'm the frustrating toddler that refuses to obey my Father. How does He have such patience with me? I am utterly amazed. I find great comfort in these verses of Psalm 103:
13 The Lord is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
14 For he knows how weak we are;
he remembers we are only dust.
Well, that's all I have for today, though I did manage to make a list of a few other ideas to write about next time. I'm praying for divine impartation and some inspiration to go on. In the meantime, have a wonderful day.
Bless you all,
