The mind is occupied

I awake this morning with a few things on my mind.  I recently told someone that I was having a fairly “free” day – few appointments and few responsibilities.

To which they replied that my mind wasn’t going to slow down.

I think they know me well. 

I awoke this morning to thoughts of a block party, widowhood, clean bathrooms, wash and shopping.  That was just in the first few minutes.  Then off on such topics as these next few days travel – to Unity (an hour away) for a banquet on Sunday night, to Saskatoon Tuesday and Wednesday for a Senior Pastor’s Network meeting, and to Calgary on Thursday and Friday for the inauguration of the President of Ambrose University College.

And now I’m sitting in front of this computer screen as the sun rises and I thank God for all his goodness to me.  Adversity spawns new life.  New life is never easy nor does it generate the same responses as in the past.  But new life is just that – “new” and “life”!

I choose to believe that God has more than I can ask or think in store for me.  All I need to do is walk through the doors with him and see what he has on the shelves!
