So full of activity.

I've been sitting in Psalm 146 and 147. I find myself easily answering the question, "Who is God?" when I am here.

He is so encouraging. Listen to what he is doing.


"...keeps truth...executes justice...gives food...gives freedom...opens the eyes...raises those who are bowed down...loves the righteous...watches over strangers...relieves the fatherless and the widows...".



And then in Psalm 147, busy bee God is...



"building up...gathering together...heals...binds up wounds...counts the number of the stars...calls them by name...casts the wicked to the ground...covers the heavens with clouds...prepares rain for the earth...makes grass to grow...gives the beast its food...takes pleasure".



For some reason he reminds me of a little kid that has just learned to share, so wanting to give their new found friend something they have in their hands. Like, "Here, here, take it." Quite sweet and beautiful.

I am back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, My Goodness! I feel like I am bursting with things to say, because it has been so long since I have said them here. I might have thought them, or said them briefly in conversations, but I am itching to write. There's nothing like a slight twist to the ankle to slow you down long enough to make you come back to what you are made of. I am always very aware of what I am most attracted to when the Mighty List Of Things To Do has dwindled down and now I have my own time, my own energies, my own quiet moments. It's in those times that I lay down and listen to music, and not all kinds of music, but maybe one song, over and over again. Like Kenny Rogers "You Decorated My Life". I write letters to people I love. Or send postcards. I write down quotes I love in my journal. I write on this blog. I look at other people's blogs. I PRAY...and I've so missed praying, just praying for the smallest detail. When I am busy I do this sort of inbetween prayers, where you think of something and mention it, but when I really, really get to, get to pray, I LOVE just sitting and going over the people I love with words, songs, offerings and saying their deeply cared for name to God. I am taking a break=today, tomorrow, and Tuesday to rest my ankle. S0mewhere in me is the belief that twisted ankles are made to slow down overly busy people. I am almost, almost grateful.

Gigantic sum.

I heard this today and I liked it.

We are not our biggest mistakes. We are not our failures. We are the sum of the Father's love for us. That's gigantic.
