What can I do in 10 minutes? Inspired by two of my daughters who recently participated in a NaNoWriMo Write-In, I decided to write.
"I am on vacation" is heard around our house on days like today; being translated, it means that all of my school work is finished, and I am officially in non-school mode. At present I believe that I am on vacation, though I have one student still working. After lunch I will bake pies, knead up a batch of 100% whole wheat dinner roll dough, and make cranberry sauce in preparation for tomorrow. In the betweens, I am pressing into rest and mentally transitioning to non-school mode.
What appeared to be an "empty" month, according to our over-sized dry
erasable wall calendar, is almost at its close. Because I love this
time of year so very much, the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, I
have peace in regard to where we are in the 2012 year. We have much on
our "to do" lists for the Thanksgiving vacation, including decorating
the tree and inside of the house for Christmas, drawing names for gift
exchange, scoring an acceptable family picture for our Christmas cards
and spending time together as a family being thankful for each other and
for our enumerable blessings.
Resting and loving authentically are two themes which Holy Spirit is highlighting in this season. Both are challenging for me due in large part, in my opinion, to the day-to-day demands of this life I've been blessed to live. And it is exactly in the day-to-day where I long to wear rest and love as naturally and as effortlessly as my skin. I wonder if that day will ever arrive here on the earth?
Yes, there will be joy in this journey!
Trying to remember to seek first the unseen Kingdom...
