When You Don't Know What to Do. . .

Because the day has gotten ahead of you and the to-do list is multiplying and you've lost the to-do list.

Remember

This is the day which the LORD has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24

Beauty
:: children napping ::
:: fall sky blue ::
:: leaves dancing in the light ::

Plenty
:: groceries to be put away ::
:: laundry in all states of use, wash, and storage ::
:: dinner waiting to be started ::
:: dinner waiting to be planned ::
(I shouldn't get ahead of myself)
:: answering machine reminding me of friends ::

Change
:: boards and nails to be gathered ::
:: rose of sharon to be pruned ::
:: flower boxes wilted with fall chill ::
(and neglect)
:: windows and canvases and fabric and yarn set aside ::

And always the words and the call, or should I say cry, to use words.

This is the day the Lord has made!
These the hands and feet and heart the Lord has made
These the tasks the Lord has given.

I will rejoice and be glad in them.
