So far today I got up, made my bed, drank two cups of coffee while browsing the newspaper, checked my emails and then Facebook to see what my family and friends were up to, spent an hour in the Psalms, and then read a couple of favorite blog posts.
Not much so far, but it’s still early...
I’ll likely do a load of laundry, straighten the house, hopefully, walk a couple of miles on the treadmill while watching an episode of
Once Upon a Time, and then have my usual Monday night dinner out with four of my best friends. I’ll come home, spend a little time with my husband and then go to bed.
Tomorrow…I’ll likely get up, make my bed, drink a cup of coffee or two while browsing the newspaper, check my emails and then Facebook to see what my family and friends are up to, spend some time in the Word, read my favorite blog posts, do a load of laundry, straighten the house, and yada, yada, yada.
I’m retired, so that’s pretty much what the majority of my days look like. Oh, there are a lot of “special” things scattered throughout my days—guitar and fly fishing classes, lunches with friends, family things, church things, etc. but the majority of my days are filled with the usual, mundane activities that I do over and over, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year…
Sounds boring. Might make a person wonder the purpose. But you know, there is a glory in these days that seem to repeat one after another. Each moment that occurs leads to another moment, and then another, and then another, until, finally, we reach the end of the day.
Isn't that the goal when we get up in the morning--to reach the end of the day?
Well, we needn't worry. The end of the day will come no matter what we do. God has the end handled.
Our job is simply to handle the moments of one day, one moment at a time, one day at a time--and hey, we can do that well if we just look for the glory in the moments.
