Yesterday we thought about making ordinary tomorrow into extraordinary Saturday by asking God to give us His idea for changing the flavor of the day.
So here we are, at dawn, anticipating an extraordinary day.
It seems His answer for me is to stay in the day, looking for at least 10 things to treasure.
Well, staying in the day is hard enough because my mind can race to next week's to-do list with amazing alacrity. That will call for mind-strength, rerouting my zip-lining thoughts to stay in the present.
Things to treasure? That might be a bit easier because I have begun to focus on thankfulness, starting with early morning energy with which to meet God, family to love and pray for, hot showers, mobility, a community to share life with, and the list goes on. But maybe, since the treasure idea seemed specific, I'll look beyond my usual list and try to see new treasure.
Whatever time your day begins, I wish you an ordinary-transformed-into-extraordinary Saturday.
