Five Days into the New Year 2011

I have already eaten the chocolate, forgotten to do my situps, neglected my aerobics, forgotten to pray...etc. My resolutions are always a yearning, A goal to be consistent, BUT GOD exalts His Word above all His name. He is so consistent and so real. I am coming everyday, to start over again to do right. When I look down at my feet and they are off of the beaten path, in word and in deed, I am grateful that I can do what Ethan used to do in kindergarten. "Put me back, Lord on the path so I can start over!" I stick my arms out, like the 6th child of the 13th child knows that there is always someone who can put his coat on better than he can. God is more consistent than if you had numerous older, caring sisters and brothers to depend upon. God is greater. He nurtures us to do right, but when we mess up, we can get right back up and get on the right path again. We don't have to stay on the path of wrong. God is to be praised for that. 2011 is a reminder that "everyday is a new day in the Lord."

The clouds were pink on top and greyish underneath and looked like a swirl. It looked as though God was practicing His calligraphy, like I was last night and the swirl that He made traveled from the sunrise and finished up in the distance past where we could see in the west. It was perfectly pink and grey, as far as I could see. I know that You are that much bigger, I thought to God, but so gracious of Him to do that swirl of beauty where I could see it. What a big calligraphy pen, it seemed to be. Just a thought:}
