1 Foot After Another

This is one of those mornings that I would rather swim in my coffee (more like fall asleep on a comfy floaty inside my cup of coffee)! As long as possible, I lingered in bed (with one eye open and the other closed) while the boys amused themselves with blankets and pillows. As soon as possible, I grabbed the coffee pot and poured myself a welcoming mug full of the stuff - juice of the bean (we drink so much juice in our home that one day that's how I called it when Isaiah asked what it was).

I would much rather wave good-bye to the idea of being awake and engaged. Today, I need grace - much grace - to want what God has for me this day - to want what God has for my family today.

"Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days." Psalm 90

"Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you." Psalm 143

"So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most." Hebrews 4

LORD, as I struggle with life today, I pray for those that will be reading this post who are experiencing similar emotions. Give me grace to endure; give them grace to endure. Give me fresh vision to press on; give them fresh vision to press on. I ask for eyes to see and ears to hear what you are doing this day, Abba Father. Holy Spirit come. Fill me; fill them. Jesus, in your name, amen.
