The Day is Done

I feel that the holidays are finally over. The last of relative visits ends this weekend. January birthdays are upon us, but they will be celebrated with the calm after the storm (I think).

It is the end of the day and I am weary. I love the holidays and relatives, but holidays are not holidays if they are everyday, and visits from far away relatives are not kindly remembered if they last too long. So tonight I will sleep soundly and dream pleasantly as I count the blessings of holy days and people I love.

Though this day is over, time ticks on. Celebrations, family and friends remain the heart of living!

Memories. Delights.

Thank You, Lord, the giver of all good gifts!

Push Through Weariness

I've watched enough of the Olympics to know that most of the gold medal winners need to push through pain and weariness in order to accomplish their goal. To reach a desired goal we must all determine in our hearts that no matter what obstacles we encounter, we will push through.

I Corinthians 9:24 "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize." (NIV)
