Three things happened today that I find so very interesting and worthy of pondering. First, Kerri Sperling spoke of her trip to Africa this fall, and finished with the thought that where we are is where the grass is greenest---flourish where we are planted for the moment is how I interpret her words (thanks Kerri, you are such a blessing to all who know you). Words, yes...but wait!

Next came the singing of the song Ancient Words by Michael W. Smith, posted here as well. During the singing, I could hear the bagpipes being played, in fact, I looked around to find them...but no, they were not physically in the church. Hmmm, pipes along with the words--truly meaningful to me. I love to think of the Bible as ancient words, not a mystery, but truly the wisdom from ages past. More pondering...and then...

Delaney has a friend over to play. As they look up some information on the computer, friend says to D..."You know the card we got at your dad's funeral? Well, I have one, and that means I won't forget your dad" and they laugh and carry on like kids, and I cry (I've been doing that a lot these days, not sure why, doesn't matter tho', I just do).

So, 3 things....flourish where we are planted now, look to the ancient words for wisdom and praise to God for those words, and appreciate where we are planted right now for Delaney's sake, as well as my own.

In keeping with my today's thoughts, pictures are going back up on the walls here, and more house decorating plans are in order. Happy 2011.
