Do you know what today is?
I’m sitting in my new comfy chair under blankets with my tea watching the first real snowfall of the year with my dog curled up next to me….and remembering. Today is a special day. For me anyway. Most people won’t think today is any different than yesterday or tomorrow. And if my husband were sitting here with me right now, and I asked him, “Do you know what today is?”, he would likely say, “Ummm…Monday???” Today is not a memorable day for most people. But it is for me. No…it’s not an anniversary or birthday or kids’ birthday or dog’s birthday. Nothing like that. But today is still very special to me. Today is…….
Where am I going?
I love a good vacation. A nice road trip. Pack up the car. Start singing some of those traveling songs…a little John Denver. A little Willie Nelson. Take me home country road or on the road again. (You know you’re singing them in your head. You’re welcome!) Now, I’m a planner. When I take a trip, I like to have it mapped out. I have a destination in mind. I make a plan. We plug the address into our GPS and follow those directions. (I don’t like her to yell at me, “Recalculating!”) We pack our clothes and food for the car and the kids pack their car bags with books and iPods and chargers and everything they’ll need while we travel. I don’t even mind stopping along the way to hit the outlets or the Bass Pro Shop or whatever we see because at the end of the day, I know where we will end up. At the destination. It’s in the GPS. I don’t have to wonder where we’re going. I can see it right on the map. Now, you can’t plan for everything, and sometimes there are detours, but at the end of the day, our GPS will get us there! I know I’m not the only planner out there. Who can relate? I wonder if Joseph could…..
Prison Break
Prison. The word does not bring with it warm fuzzies. No happy thoughts there. Prison is never good. It’s a punishment. It’s dark. Dank. Gloomy. There are several prison stories in the Bible that have always brought me hope in the prison-like seasons of my life…
Don’t Stop Believin’…
Any Journey fans out there? (Okay, so this picture isn’t of Steve Perry…..but it’s close. It’s my husband. 🙂 ) If you are like me, when you read the title of this post, you immediately began to sing the chorus from the Journey song, Don’t Stop Believin’……(Am I dating myself? Sigh!) Joseph never stopped believing…
