This morning I was reading in the Bible about the Battle of Jericho.\u00a0 It occurred to me that it’s easier to see what God is doing in my life when there’s big drama going on.\u00a0 “My son just moved out.”\u00a0 “I’m interviewing for a job in Oregon.”<\/p>\n
I’m not sure how long it will last, but for now there’s not big drama in my life.\u00a0 Yet — there are many things I’m excited about.\u00a0 Quiet, Beautiful Things.\u00a0 Things that God has brought into my life and that are His special blessings to me.<\/p>\n
Today, it’s simply getting to go play games with friends — friends I’ve only known a couple years, but whose company I enjoy tremendously.\u00a0 Tomorrow, it’s going to be getting to teach Scratch programming in a playful way.<\/p>\n
And there are lots more things coming up.<\/p>\n
And I hope I will remember to notice them.<\/p>\n
“He makes me lie down in green pastures.”\u00a0 Green pastures are lovely at times, too.<\/p>\n
And may I not forget to be thankful.<\/p>\n
