It's the beginning of SPRING BREAK!!!!yipppeeee! It's beautiful outside, a cool 67 degrees with the sun shining ever so brightly....the birds are singing. When I was younger, MUCH younger (I know it's hard to believe)...I would have considered this kind of day, "boring." But Stephen changed that outlook. When he was three and had his brain surgery for the removal of a tumor, I would curiously gaze out the window from Children's Hospital and watch the cars as they zoomed by. The hospital is on the freeway heading toward downtown. So, every morning and every evening, people were going to and from work. I'd often think,"all those people are just going to work and having an ordinary day...I want one." I was so tired and my heart was so heavy, watching my precious son go through the agony of all the medical stuff. He looked so sick and weak. From that, I learned that these "boring" days are not at all boring...they are God's gift of the present. The present that is free from sickness...from exhaustion, and free from worry. In fact, if I just stop and look at the spring time flowers, blue sky, and bright sunshine, I see God's beautiful earth that He made for me.
So, I think I'll go "sit a spell" on the deck and enjoy a "WONDERFUL, ORDINARY DAY"..thank you Lord for this gift of now.
