WHAT WILL THIS DAY BE LIKE….I WONDER

Picture
 This is from a song in The Sound of Music that Maria sings.  It has become our motto this past year.  I have it on the refrigerator and I wrote it on the wall of the trailer before I tore it down.  I am sure a lot of people have asked themselves that this year.  Of course one never really knows what a day will bring but this past year (2020) it seems I have asked it more than ever before.

I told Tommy that if it weren’t for the fact that I believe the Lord has ministry for us where we are right now, I might just disappear and go to some remote place and hide until I die or the Lord returns.  I have to fight anger when I leave our home.  I am not on board with a lot that is going on in our world right now, and it is never more glaringly evident than when I step outside our four walls.  

Starting each day reading scripture has helped ground me, but I find myself wanting to run back to the safety of home.  Seems I can put all that is happening behind me a little easier there.  

Then I get up again in the morning and read…

“Dear friend, listen well to my words;
tune your ears to my voice.
Keep my message in plain view at all times.
Concentrate!  Learn it by heart!
Those who discover these words live, really live;
body and soul, they’re bursting with health.

Keep vigilant watch over your heart;
That’s where life starts.
Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth;
avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip.
Keep your eyes straight ahead;
ignore all sideshow distractions.
Watch your step,
and the road will stretch out smooth before you.
Look neither right nor left;
leave evil in the dust.”  

 The Message Bible Proverbs 4:20-27
