A Day of Peace

Readings for today: Mark 8: 27-33. “Who do you say that I am?” Peter says “The Christ”.  Then Jesus began telling them about His suffering to come.  Peter could not understand.

It’s an ordinary, yet beautiful day.  Clouds covered the sun rise just until the sun peeked over the hills and trees.  Then, wispy white clouds were distinct in front of a pale blue sky as yellow beams shown over the trees.   

Today, I am at peace Lord.  I purposely, did not read or listen to any DT news, yesterday.  I enjoyed my tasks of the day. Enjoyed my evening with Jim. Went to bed early. 

Today, it feels like a day where the pages of the journal are blank and I get to write on them.  Vivi (2-year-old grandchild) will be over soon.  I look forward to experiencing her enthusiasm of life, expressed by her RUNNING to and from all her activities and her huge smile. 

In my small vision of faith, I choose today to say with Peter “You are the Christ”.  I, like him, don’t understand the whole of what that means.  I do know your presence in my life; your healing and life-giving touch.  I live within the beauty of your creation: the snow and rain, the sunrises and rainbows, the flowers and trees, the turkeys and the deer.   Thank you for all of that.  I will try to live today in thanks (praise) for all your gifts.  You shower me in blessings.  Show me where you need me to be you in the world.
