peace like this is such a blessing. it has been a sabbath of a day for me... clean room, cuddly kitty, and a trip to the grocery store with the presence of God completely surrounding me!
i've been so incredibly impatient these last few...well, months? years? yet, today, driving behind the guy smoking his cigg leisurely below the speed limit - i was fine, and drank in a bit of his drug-induced calm instead of tensing my shoulders in my normal 'you-are-in-my-way-because-it-is-about-me' frustration. then while looking for a parking place, i circled around to find myself behind a dear older woman pushing her cart down the middle of the lane. and what did i do? i watched her, not with a glare, but in simplicity. then i found the delight of a parking spot under the full shade of a tree. once i gathered all my items inside the store, the system was down and they only took credit. so the long lines moved a little slow and i enjoyed pondering out loud with the older woman in line behind me about how the debit could be down yet the credit still online...she agreed with me and had a nice smile. i was able to be light spirited with the cashier and sympathize her situation. on the way home, green lights.
on top of that, now that my cold is mostly gone, i can sing again. so i sang in the car with a different heart, considering that i am able to do so... and that it makes Him smile. so i smiled back.
