OK lets do this thankful thing again =) Today I am thankful for yard work. Crazy right? Now don't get me wrong, I do not enjoy the back breaking weed pulling. I Don't enjoy the Texas heat. I don't enjoy the sunburn no matter how much sunscreen I use. What I do enjoy is the quiet. I don't listen to music I don't have any helpers, see this is me and God's time. We just talk. I tell Him all my woes and the woes of all those I love. He listens. I tell Him all of my triumphs, and give Him the glory in it. I talk. Like I would talk to a good friend. I don't hold back anything, cause I just don't see a reason to. I want Him to know me and I want to know Him. I covet this time. All my girlfriends know, that this is when I get my alone time in this very busy world. I steal the time by calling it chores. Believe me no one wants to bother me then, for fear that they may be called into this foreign land of chores (lol).
Today I went outside with my house dirty and and my laundry unwashed. With errands needing to be run and honey do's going undone, I went out in the heat and pulled weeds from my yard and a few from my heart. I want to remove any hindrance to the Joy and closeness I share with my Father. And this just seemed like a great way to get back. So as silly as it sounds I sat with my father in the mud today and pulled up weeds. I heard Him and felt His peace, and I needed that. So I am thankful for yard work and all it entails.
