Working for the Weekend

Hey Kids,

Just a quick note before I take off tonight and work my Australian Hours Job. (Sounds better than graveyard). (Or does it?)

We had the kids over for a round of Chicken Soup. It was our Thanksgiving Dinner with them. We figured that everyone has had enough Turkey at this point. It’s always good food for the soul.IMG_20151129_212128_525

I didn’t quite finish my NaNoWriMo story today but I have until tomorrow night to finish. I’m within striking distance, a simple normal day’s quota will do it.

It’s been a long weekend with the days off and the working every day of it. But it has been a good one. The extra job has relived a lot of stress. Especially once the extra check starts cashing. It’s not as materialistic as that sounded. I’ll explain later.

Day 279

Sunday Thought

Hey Kids,

I’m traveling today so I apologize for an auto post today.

Recently I was introduced to a scripture that when I looked it up in my own bible, showed no notes or marks.

I know I’ve read it before but for whatever reason it never struck me like it did this time.

4201121-heavenly-rays-normal“For You have been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the ruthless Is like a rain storm against a wall.” Isaiah 25:4

How many times have I been shielded from those things that would hurt me, things that could damage me, and things I cannot avoid on my own? How many times has my God, or my faith in my God helped me overcome those challenges?

And then the next thought.

How many times have I been a shield for others? How many times have I made another’s day or life better? There are plenty of opportunities. Just do it.

Thank you Debbie Choplin.

A Refuge in the Storm
