today’s the first day of my fifty-first year travelin this sod…
yesterday mornin i wrote some thoughts (in this cool #A6 notebook that I bought at Heathrow on the way to Hungary) about being thankful at 50… here is the first thought on thankfulness…
“for a relationship with a loving, forgiving, heavenly Father…”
today I was chatting with my friend Mark… DSL is down at home so I was (and am) at Greenberrys and the laptop was (and is…) struggling, so I just restarted it… when I was back on, Mark asked if I was having trouble with my internet connection…
“I was,” I wrote, “and I finally just restarted the computer… the connection is so much better…”
“humans are like my laptop” I wrote…
“how so?” Mark pondered
“because like my laptop, they need to be periodically restarted to clear up the connection…”
hmmmm…
We need to restart… here’s how:
Adoration and worship of God,
Confession of our wrongs to him and others,
Thanksgiving for all we have…
Supplication for the needs I have… but more for the needs of others
connection with God is awesome!
IF we are willing to restart when necessary…
that’s whats cool about first days…
…every day can be a first day!
NEXT… being? doing?
