Sharing God's Little Coincidences

Today is going to be busy for me.  Yesterday was as well.  The funny thing is that I don't like being so busy all the time.  What I enjoy is a peaceful day at home with my doggies and a warm fire, getting things done around the house.  Today, it would be nice to get out my greenery and white lights, the little Christmas tree tucked behind the door in Christina's downstairs bedroom and do some decorating.  Then, with the Christmas Message on sirius, start my Christmas cards.  But, on my calendar is the reminder of Homemakers Christmas dinner, so I'll be taking a chocolate cake, picking up my friend, Mildred, and off we'll go to our annual celebration with all the members of our homemakers group.  Once I get on the way, I'll be glad to have the company of all these wonderful ladies and it will be special.

Yesterday, I was busy with my sister, Pam.  We go to a BSF Bible Study each Wednesday in Lexington.  It's a particularly highly structured organization that I had desired to attend when we lived in Henderson, but the timing didn't work out, so God gave me the opportunity to try it here in Central Kentucky.  We are currently studying Moses, and it is fascinating.  Turns out that Charlton Heston's portrayal of Moses in The Ten Commandments did not tell the whole story.  Fortunately, God had everything He wanted us to know written down in the Bible for us to really know the whole story.

I was particularly interested when our leader, Mary Beth, mentioned a particular verse during her lecture that I was very familiar with.  Many times in the past, I have sought out this verse in Lamentations because it is such a wonderful reminder for me not to waste mornings by sleeping in. The verse which starts with 3:22 and continues through verse 23 states "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness".  Because of this verse, I've set my alarm to take advantage of the wonderful compassions or mercies, that await me in the morning.  Thank you God for wonderful starts to our mornings.

I felt the need to share this because after I read my BSF study for the morning, I opened up my Upperroom and read yesterdays devotion, as I was off and running due to being a little late in getting started.  Anyway, the verse highlighted was Lamentations 3:22-23.  I checked my notes from the lecture, and there it was Lam. 3:22-24, a study on Moses brought me right back to the same verse that was the Upperroom devotion for me.  When God gives you little coincidences like that, it's a good idea to share them with someone.

Yesterday continued to be busy as daughter, Christina came over for supper.  I can't believe that we are counting down the days til the arrival of our newest little Sixlibby.  But, like I said, today will be busy as well.  I got my first Christmas card yesterday from one of the dearest teachers of all time.  I look forward to when I can finally sit down and respond to her, but in the meantime I have to get ready for a Christmas dinner.

I hope you have a great day and are enjoying this special time of the year.  Stay safe and warm.  luv, Susan   ps, Okay, we are getting ready for a new little Sixlibbyberry.
