4/12/12
A day in the life of…..a grandmother with a sad heart. This entry sounds like
it’s going downhill----but God…………had me open my Jesus Calling yesterday (3/11)
after I kissed loved ones good-by. The first line read, “This is the day I have made, Rejoice and be glad in it.” So I began
the day being careful NOT to complain (that would be my natural tendency) about
the long distance from 6 of my grands. Focusing instead on thanking the Lord
for the time I had been given.
Was
it easy? Not exactly. Was it right? Yes. In
everything give thanks. (I Thessalonians 5:18)
As
the day worn on, regardless of a great walk with Ellen and a schedule change
allowing a haircut with Pam (thus a long car ride chat w/ Bernie) I fell back
into sadness.
But
God……..does not give up on teaching me obedience. As I pulled out the egg
carton for a dinner recipe, there in the top was another reminder---Psalm
118:24. It was stamped right on the inside of the carton. I couldn’t help but smile
on my gifts of the day.
Has
Aldi® always stamped egg cartons with a verse? I don’t recall seeing them
before.
