Finding a Place of Serenity




There are people who need alarms and then there are people who are alarms. I fall into category two. That means that when I have to get up at 5:00 a.m., I awaken every 3 minutes all night long to check the clock. And in between my alarm checks, I pray.

I pray that maybe today will be the day when God makes me calm and patient. Maybe today will be the day God grants me a humble and gentle spirit. Maybe today God will give me the wisdom to enjoy what I have and not lament what I don't have.
Oh please Lord, I pray, maybe today make me better.
And I crawl out of bed and go to the computer and the Internet is down.

All my visions of peaceful scenes, of calm and loving meekness fly out the door as I throw things at the computer.

Ok, maybe tomorrow....

Deuteronomy 4:39-40 (NIV)
Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. [40] Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.
