Trying something new, got the idea from another blog I read. Write 5 minutes on a prompt supplied by Lisa Jo Baker, today's prompt was Story. It's been a tough week for several reasons, and I have had to hold my tongue and work hard in sweaty 100 degree Texas heat for someone who really didn't seem to appreciate it....or maybe they are unable to express their appreciation. All I know is I had to repeat "God Grant me the Serenity to Accept the Things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference...." And the negative stuff just kept happening on several fronts.
Today I got up early and went to a send off for a youth Mission Team at my church, the youth are heading off to S. Dakota Indian reservation for 2 weeks, along with my dear friend. I came home, went for a walk, and came home with fresh resolve. Then found my dog had left a bunch of trash on floor. I bent to pick up the trash, and found a little slip of paper: "May the God of Hope fill you with all Joy and peace in Him. so that you may overflow with Hope by the Power of the Holy Spirit".......Now where did this slip of paper come from???
Woops, 5 minutes, OVER :)
