I am a bit late this week (with next week starting tomorrow and all), but late or not I didn’t want to miss a chance to SHARE MY WORLD.
Cee’s five questions and my answers are below. If you would like to see how others answered the questions or if you would like to join in the fun you can do so by clicking the underlined link above.
CEE’S QUESTIONS & MY ANSWERS
If you had a shelf for your three most special possessions (not including photos, electronic devices and things stored on them, people or animals), what would you put on it?
My shelf would contain my family tree, the current journal I am writing in and my Bible. Past, present and future.
If you had a box labelled ‘happiness’, what would you put in it?
I guess I would start with two questions: How big is the box? Can you only put material things in it?
If the answers are “a small box and yes”, then I would put a picture of Jesus, a picture of my family and two 3×5 cards. One 3×5 card would say “Be content with what you have and where you are.”. The other would say, “Remember only relationships last into eternity.”
If the answers are ” the size of the Universe and no you can put immaterial things in the box too”, then I would put God in the box remembering that the box would still not be big enough to contain Him. The Psalmist wrote, “In Thy presence (O Lord) is fullness of joy.”
What do you want more of in your life?
God, His presence and love.
Daily Life List: What do you do on an average day? Make a list of your usual activities you do each day.
I generally get up between 5 and 6 to walk the dogs. I pray and study Scripture. I get ready for work and then I head off. Most mornings I do a bit of paper work until morning prayer meeting. After an hour of prayer I usually have meetings until 11 or lunch time. In the afternoon I do paperwork, write and usually once a week I am out doing a service at a nursing home or dayhab. Sometimes I throw in the occasional meeting. I go home for 3 and walk the dogs. I usually rest for a bit and try to get something done around the house before I return to the church. Most evenings I have a meeting followed by a rehearsal or a service and then I head home for 8 walk the dogs, eat supper and watch a little television to unwind before bed.
On days off I try to do as little as possible.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am mindful that I am a week behind so I will share one things from this vacation week that was special and do the same next week. I am grateful that I got to watch the sunrise at Ogungquit Beach, Maine. It has been years since I did that. Next week I am looking forward to getting back into the routine of work. Here are some shots of the Beach.
And of course the sky
