Things I have learned at 3 AM
- Snow reflects a soft purple hue under the street lights.
- My house makes very odd noises.
- Apparently the insomniac is the target audience for "Paid Programming" ads.
- My couch may match the decor, but it is no place to sleep.
- Tylenol PM does not make me drowsy.
- Tension Tamer tea does not tame my tension.
- There are a lot of people on the road in the middle of the night. Which begs the question, where could they possibly be going?
- Paul can sleep through anything, even his snoring.
- I have got to finish painting the upstairs hall way.
- 3 AM is very, very late.
Walking in the Light
Wow! This year year has been a whirlwind to say the least. I am shocked we are near the half way point in February. Part of me wants to dance. If the start of the year is any indication of how it is going to go, I am happy it's flying by. I will usher in 2009 with bells and whistles.
Yet, I am humbly reminded that every day is a gift, and I need to walk in the Light. I need to let Him guide me through each day. I need to listen to His still, quiet voice...Yeah I know for me that's a stretch. I'm never still long enough to catch my breath.
As I write this, our dear neighbor of ten years is fighting stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I am awed by the faith she has in God. I am humbled by the fight she has within her to beat the demon we know as cancer. Hunter, in his six year old wisdom said to me, "Mommy, why are you sad? We are just going to pray and Jesus is going to make her better." The faith of a child and the living testimony of one who is dwelling in God's amazing grace reminds me to walk daily in the His unfailing light.
