Today there is a major snow/ice storm blowing through Oklahoma. The kids are out of school, and for the moment, are upstairs playing.
I was checking my email, thinking about all I wanted to accomplish today (and so why am I sitting here:-):-)?)...
needing to get the top layer of clutter out,
needing to get the Jesse Tree/Christmas stuff going,
needing to get some Scripture Songs going for the Women's Bible Study at the church that is starting in January...
and I thought (as I do almost every week), "I wish that Sundays could really be a day of rest...not worrying about stuff that needs doing, not feeling guilty about things that I didn't get done...just a day that I could turn everything off and spend it with my family and the Lord and really be 'in the moment'..."
That is a gift that I am going to give to myself in the new year (2007)....
I hope.
Then I thought "You know, not that anyone really cares what I am doing, but what if this turned out to be successful? What if I really could work out my life so that the Sabbath could be a day of renewal with those I love? Wouldn't I want to be able to tell people how I did it?"
And I knew that if I tried to remember it, I would leave something out, much like a recipe that you do out of your head and you try to tell someone what it is, and your forget something crucial...not on purpose, but you do.
So I may not be back for awhile, but I wanted to secure this blog space...for when this idea turns out to be a huge success:-).
Thanks for visiting and check in again sometime....I hope to really get rolling on this by January if not before.
