My Lord,

Good beautiful morning.  Thank you for displaying that AMAZING moon-gift this morning.  You know how that warms my heart and stops me in my tracks.  Each time that I see it displayed in that indescribable color, I just want to sit and stare.  I long to just sit and stare at you-to be in your immediate presence with nothing and no one pulling at my attention.  But because you are with me always, I can admire such a marvelous creation while continuing on with my day.  And not only that, you can create "it" again and again and again.

Today's reading is Philippians 2:1-4...Let each of you look out not only for his own interest, but also the interest of others...

Lord, it is my deepest prayer that I am fully aware, alert and attentive to the needs of those around me. Let me never get so caught up with self that I overlook, discard or ignore a fellow brother.  I have had many of days like that in my past, the past before you-where I was consumed with all the wrong people, places and things.  The woman I am today longs to serve you and I know that helping someone, anyone in need, is serving you.

You have placed so many resources and blessings in my life that leaves me wanting to help as many souls as possible.  I want them to see that you can use a wretch like me to glorify your name and your kingdom and that you can do the same for them.  I want people to see that they do not have to get ready, make preparations or clean up the "stuff" in their lives before coming to you.  I want them to know that I was a complete mess when you called on me.  I was not prepared, I did not have my ducks lined up and I certainly did not seek you out.

I was home in my family room on a sunny May day, minding my business.  A quiet voice called out my name and it resonated with my spirit.  Not only that, the voice some how sounded familiar.  My response came with an open heart and a willingness to surrender my life to you.  Wow!  No regrets whatsoever.  YAY..cartwheels!

Eternally yours
