Good morning…
Several of you have said, “Sue, don’t blog this weekend. Just give yourself a break to fully experience your son’s wedding.” On most levels this advice makes complete sense. “Give yourself a break.” Except on one very core level.
The challenge is this – I live off of these God’s given words. I am deeply nourished, like you, every morning by the wisdom the Holy Spirit stirs up. No blog? Yes blog? God sparked a third possibility. “Pre-program your blog ahead of time so you can wake up to the words your heart needs to hear.” I am going with God’s answer.
How enduring is God’s loyal love; the Eternal has inexhaustible compassion. Here they are, every morning, new! Your faithfulness, God, is as broad as the day. (Lamentations 3:22-23, VOICE).
So in the broad light of this day, I share a resource a special friend shared with me this week. I wonder what emotion will rise up first in us now.
In a few hours, we are leaving on a once in a lifetime trip to Charleston, South Carolina. I am drawn to Psalm 121 as this list suggests. Here in this moment, I find exactly what I need as I journey into this life-changing weekend.
The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night.
The Lord keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever (Psalm 121:5-8, NLT).
God, might these be the verses to end the prayer my son asked me to pray at their rehearsal dinner?
…Sue…
