What a Difference a Day Makes!

(Great Smoky Mountains, 2010)

This time yesterday I was still in my pajamas and hadn’t done a thing but eat.   Today, I have already spent time with God, walked, ate a healthy breakfast, and I went Wal*Marting. 
   

Yesterday, when Ole Boy got home from work, he asked, “How’s your day been?”   I told him it had been miserable, and he could take me out for a Mexican dinner.   Today, he’ll have a nice home cooked and healthy dinner…most of which is warming in the crock pot.

I walked 25 minutes!   I almost decided not to tell that it took me 24 minutes to walk a mile…but what the heck?  It did take me that long.   I then walked one more minute for good measure (and for my OCD’s sake).

Afterwards, I realized I was out of bottled water and my filter on the tap is way past prime.   I drank tap water!   It didn’t kill me.  Yet.   Got some bottled water at Wal*Mart.  I really need to get a new filter, but I am recycling those bottles…not that I believe in global warming, but I definitely think we should recycle all we can, and not be wasteful.

The difference in yesterday and today, I think, is the fact that I accepted God’s grace.   His grace is always there!  Some days, it just envelopes us like a warm fuzzy cloak, but there are times when we have to reach out and grab hold, and cling to it with all our might.   Today…it’s more like a warm cloak, and I am so grateful.
