This morning I woke up and my thoughts were groggy and chaotic as usual. But, right away I noticed and appreciated that I was able to systematically bring my thoughts into focus and get through my prayers with understanding and effectiveness.
As the morning transpired I started to notice that everything I did and thought seemed orderly and inspired. I got the kids fed and dressed orderly, I got myself together orderly, I was motivated to pick up and clean without struggle, and I was not afraid of the future.
Out in the world things seemed orderly among other people also. Everyone I encountered while dropping off my daughter at school was in a communicative and helpful mood. I even passed a city services truck with a trailer full of trash cans and they were stacked and sorted by size and color.
As I thought through some life philosophies and ideas I remembered that last night a beautiful full moon was rising. I realized that we are in a monthly up cycle in the rhythm of life. I thought about how I need to be mindful of this during the down cycles and use it for strength of faith. And I do attribute this to God's creation.
This afternoon I got to talk to a friend about a some inventory and about how God has helped me to get free from resentment.
Later in the day I got to talk to another friend about how God has helped me to get free from my selfish desires.
In the evening I got to help a guy find a meeting and I got to go to the meeting myself. It was a speaker meeting and a good friend of mine told a great story.
Afterward I got to hang out and talk with a couple of friends. I talked to them about the story of the Tower of Babel.
I got to do grocery shopping after that.
Thanks be to God.
