It is a beautiful Monday morning. Jannine and Daniel have left for school, David has left for work and I am here with the three doggies. I guess I like the quiet time sometimes, but I am not a person to be alone for long. I like the noise and activity. I usually have the tv on just to have some noise in the background. I am not sure why that is, I guess it is just me!
My Bible study today talked about prayer time. In Matthew 6:7-13 it says, "And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed by your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debters. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
When I talk to God, I try to imagine I am just talking to my Daddy. Don't get me wrong, I have complete reverence and respect for Him. But I know that He loves me and sometimes I just cry out to Him. Other times I praise in the blessings and other times I just talk. I have even yelled a couple of times... which I don't recommend. However, I am human and have done it a couple times. Sometimes I think God has forgotten me, but really I know that He has everything under control. We need to remember who's will we are to accomplish. I need to remind myself that I need to do HIS will even when it isn't always what I want to do.
I am going to head over to my friends house who is recovering from surgery. I am going to take her to the doctor, we are going to have lunch and just enjoy our friendship God has blessed us with. So, I look forward to the blessings God has planned for me today. I'll write more when I return.
