"Thank you, Father."
'Tis all a day needs.
It's been a few weeks since I posted, and several things have come to my attention. :-) Funny things. Neglected things. And things that are hard, but I know would be to my good. So I thought I'd share them with you--you precious people who I find to be most real and vulnerable with. I said MOST, but even with you, I will honestly confess, I fail to be. I pray to be better, because it's a precious thing and have recently been reminded of it's imperishable value. There are boundaries of extremes...on one side, I know I could be more real with you, my dear friend. On the flipside, there are things that are only meant to be bare before the Throne.
Oh dear, [end of speel] .
I have thought of something that sounds fun! Would you like to join me? Resolutions of sorts, but I won't venture to call them that thanks to the curse of inconsistency with that term. :-) Little things I will devote (code word for "try") to daily for a week, starting Monday 3-24-08. Devotion is easier, beneficial, and so much more fun when you have someone to do/share it with. But only if you'd like to, I just want to throw this out there to do together!
I'd love ideas from you too, and your list doesn't have to be long. The minimum is one item, and the max is up to you! And we can borrow ideas, hence the doing them together. So if you'd like to do this with me, post your list so I can borrow from you!
Here is my list/example thus far, but may be added to when I hear from you:
- Posting a blog entry *gasp*
- Embroidering one color on a whole quilt block (do all the green on Mon, then the pink on Tues...)
- Writing down one thought for everyday (and posting it them at the end of the week).
- Spend one moment (timeframe undefined) in solitude.
- Do something particular for someone else.
Mind you, this is daily. And I think it would be fun to swap ideas, and throughout talk about what we're doing. 1) Good habits may come of them and 2) who knows what we can learn together! No pressure or expectations, only what you put on yourself--your blog entry could be just a quote, and your moment in solitude spent driving to work, etc, etc.
What do you think??? Give me ideas!

I likey the ideas! I could do those, minus the quilt. I'm afraid I have zero talent when it comes to thread and needles. *gulp* I'm going to try the rest though, as a matter of fact I think I could try climbing mount everest at this point, I just woke up from a loooong nap and feel quite happy. :P
Love ya,

I like that idea, too. It might be a good way to discuss some of those really odd one and two chapter books that were usually written for a particular person or family, and compare how we can apply their message to our lives.
I think we should take one picture a day and put a caption with it....it can be anything, a dog, a cat, a family member, a pile of dirty laundry. :P Whatya think? Are we adding too many things to our list? :D I say we make a list, and then pick at least 5 of them to do daily. That way we don't find ourself doing any treasure hunts in the grocery store on a daily basis. Haha.
Love ya,
LeAnna
