a change of heart...

"… for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” Matthew 6:8

With the announcement of school being postponed longer, my heart sank. It meant more Saturday-like days.

But who doesn't like Saturdays?  I even have a shirt wishing everyday was Saturday. I just had no clue what i was pining for because i sure don't feel like that anymore.  

With the drastic changes required in our lives, at home and work, i am looking forward to a routine Monday.  Working with co-workers and children, getting lots of hugs and high fives, visiting with family and friends, going out to eat, ect. -- things i've taken for granted -- and yes, at times, even grumbled about, i want it back.   


Father, today i'm reminded to be careful what i wish for, because it might come packaged differently than i expect. On a positive note, the fact is the past week of "Saturdays" at home has opened my eyes to many blessings.... regarding health, work, relationships, freedom.  

This timeout is providing much quiet reflective time. I am looking and depending more on You on how to go about each day.  Is that part of what i am to learn in this season, Father?  Thank You not only for my Saturdays, but for all my Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. May i be more cognizant in seeking and serving You with a humble, grateful heart each day.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
