July 4, 2016

Really Lynn, how hard it it to sit down and type out what is on your mind?  What is the real purpose of all those journals - no one will ever take the time to read.  And, do I really care if anyone reads what I write?  I am not a writer, sometimes I just want to put my thoughts into writing.

July 4, 2016 - always a little melancholy on the 4th.  Buried my dad, 41 years ago.  I don't even remember what his voice sounded like.  My memories are hazy.  Been without him more than I was with him.

Bible study - FAITH - why are all the words that seem to be impacting me right now - 5 letters?  Why have I even bothered to count?

PEACE, GRACE, MERCY, and now FAITH.  Oh, and add TRUTH.

And, now that I think about it - what is on my mind - SERVE.

Lord, do I need to go back to the nursery on Sunday mornings - that is really kind of easy.  Or do I need to really step out and go somewhere in the City - and read? Tutor?  Just spend time with a child? Or do I need to go to the nursing home - spend time with a senior adult - read to them?  Perhaps Lord, you could clear that up for me.
