Twas the night before Easter and all through the house...
Oh, wait, that's not it!
Anyway, it is the day before Easter and my house is clean and my laundry is mostly done. Most of the food has been prepped and all that's left is to get out the Easter basket's for my kids ... and PASS OUT!
Getting ready for holidays is a lot of work and I find that often I lose sight of what the day is really about. Tomorrow will also be the 6 year anniversary of when I decided to give this Christian thing a shot. It's not the anniversary of when I got saved... that came almost 6 months later! I was a tough sell! In the beginning I made a 6 week commitment to give the church thing a shot. Easter weekend was the 7th week. I am so glad He never let me go.
As I sat down to write this and quickly reviewed my day, I realized that yet again, I did not get out of my selfish self and pay attention to what God wanted to do today. I did nice things for people. I wasn't selfish and self centered. I was just working on my own agenda instead of His.
I asked Him, "Who could I have prayed for?" I saw an image of the guy at Borders who I saw twice today. I am sorry I wasn't paying attention, God.
This morning I was praying while I was driving down the highway headed to the farmer's market and I was just telling the Lord how much I loved Him. I heard this song that I used to always sing to my son when he was just a baby. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..." But instead of "sunshine," we are His "Sonshine." We are to be a light in this world, shining.
I shined today, but only to people that are in my comfort zone. People I am close with. God wants me to be His Sonshine to all of His children, but probably most especially to the ones I won't come in contact with all the time.
Lord, help me to be Your Sonshine in this world, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
