Monday is Magic!

When you wake up and can’t wait to start the day …… all because God is good.

I just love it when I wake up with a little extra ‘giddy up’ in my step!

Starting the week with Sunday church services and lunch with my bestie, sister …… just in the nick of time before the storms hit,

yikes ……

Of course I moved my precious lemon trees up to the patio …… with 60 – 70 mile winds, it’s the least I could do.

And then it’s Monday and it’s magical.

I can’t recall the last June morning waking up to temps in the 60’s, me likey! Coffee on the patio this season has been marvelous and magical.

There is no fear because of the love of God.

I have such an overwhelming feeling of joy in my heart.

Oh sure, events may try to detour my steps or others may irritate me with gross comments as if they have a rope tied to my soul trying to pull me down.

And then, there is this gentle nudge ……. reminding me for spiritual reflection. All it takes is a glimpse of the rest and peace that can be mine when I relinquish all the worries and attachments to God.

Hey, I have said it before ……. I am a work in progress. And even though I believe the impossible is possible, I need that nudge from time to time as this world and the people in it try to detour my steps. I know down to my core that all life and love flows from the full embrace of Christ alone.

Oh yes, I am a survivor.

I know, because I have been rescued …… AHEM,  more than once.

And living the life of freedom in the name Christ is the only way to live!

Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that I will not become attached to people and things, that is unnatural; however, I will not depend on any created thing for my happiness and security. I am more aware of all the people and things that will try to become attached to my soul. (And people and things will always fail us.)

So yep, today is marvelous and magical, for sure. When you can’t stop singing, dancing and smiling all day. Booyah! Oh, I think even Riley is giving me that side eye, as if he is thinking, ‘I am missing out on my nap time’.  Okay, baby, just one more dance with mommy, teehee!

Guess what, I am fully loved by God.

It’s Marvelous & Magical!

Blessings from our home to yours.
