Reframing and renewed seeing are themes today. Perhaps I should add remembering to the list as well.
To take every thought I am having about today and to reframe it and see it from Heaven’s perspective would be truly transformational. For instance, this morning I have
step-by-step done the usual daily grind items for today: made whole-wheat pancakes for breakfast, started
supper in the crockpot, started laundry, started the dishwasher and started my
kiddos off into their school day. That’s
something creative and a lot of new beginnings already in my day
(cooking is a creative outlet for me, generally speaking, especially when I
love to eat what I am cooking/baking).
I
have also answered and sent emails, listened to narration from a couple of my
students and blessed my kiddos. Kingdom
connection has happened!
Another
privilege that I get to practice is loving and honoring my kids daily.
And lastly (for now), I listened to a podcast that confirmed previous similar admonishments from a dear friend: make time for community, show up when in
community and be authentic when in community.
If I am going to become a normal Christian like Jesus, I must receive
this timely message as from the hand of God. That’s
an act of reframing and of renewed
seeing. Remembering to pay attention is a key to the activation of these
admonishments.
My
confession: today it is much easier to see and to reframe
and to remember all of these benefits.
On my hazy hormonal days, I struggle.
Remembering to keep my eyes
on my Friend and to find joy in Him is the trickiest part of those days,
because my natural circumstances look dark almost regardless of the light they
bear in reality. (Soon I will be
re-reading a book that I hope with give me some more tools and encouragement, Jump off the hormone swing : fly through thephysical, mental and spiritual symptoms of PMS and perimenopause.)
“Let
hope arise!” Today’s themes water and give nutrients to
the seeds of hope, abiding faith and breakthrough, my 2012 words.
What
are the themes Holy Spirit is highlighting to you today?
