Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.

Had breakfast and quality time with a dear friend yesterday. A moment that has been long overdue. The wonderful thing about our relationship is that, though we met in the post office and both have numerous opinions about various occurrences, that was not what we talked about. As a matter of fact, that was only a minute portion of our conversation. People used to ask me what I would have to discuss after I retired. You would be amazed. Shoot, I am amazed. Haha.

Last night I watched my grandson’s first soccer game. I know nothing about this game except … no hands unless you are to the goalie, run, kick a ball, and run some more. That is my interpretation of the sport. Haha. They won, and it was hilarious. One little boy pulled a stunt that was reminiscent of when my son played t-ball … ran the wrong way. It was great.

This morning, I am a little later than normal because we had some early morning running to do and I am just now on my second cup of coffee. Now I can see to do something other than drive. Haha.

The sun is bright this morning. I may go out to the shed for some super quiet time. It feels like that kind of morning. To just sit in His presence. To feel Him. Some days, that is all it takes to become centered again. Today, I encourage you to find some time to do just that. Find time, make time, secure time … even if a few minutes and just sit with Him. No talking. No praying. No asking. Just quiet. That moment or those moments with Him, without expectation, are the best. He shuts off the thoughts of the world and you can see the blessings that you have looked over in your busyness. You will be amazed.

Be blessed.
