my day off

I've been in my #1 favorite spot twice today...my deck.

Early this morning it was organizing the day, promoting some coming events at Crossroads, organizing some meals for a recovering member of the Magnification team and an email to a ministry leader elsewhere.

Then to the dentist.  WAY overdue for an examine  - but, "Look Ma no cavities!"  Even as I sat in that chair I gave thanks as they reported - great blood pressure and no indication of any kind of gum disease or of oral cancer!  God is good!

I felt I deserved a trip to my favorite store Gabriel Brothers following the dentist - my husband tried so hard to be patient, and I think he bought more for himself than I did.  The difference - he was done in 15 minutes, me...not so much!

The second time on the deck - my time!  Bloggin' - obviously,  as I inhale the delicious fragrance of chicken on the grill- these are the things that make a great day off!

I have several people waiting for articles that I would love to knock out tonight...but, not so sure if I'll get to them or not.  That's the beauty of a true day off - you get to decide what comes next, what burns up your day.



My day is going quickly - but as storm clouds begin to gather I breath deeply and slowly and thank Him for peaceful decks and my husband and our family and our amazing friends and for days off ... and for chicken...
