It has snowed again today making a bright white coat on the lawn. It reminds me of what it is like to have a fresh start. All the brown yucky snow is covered again. The tracks from the kids and the dog are covered looking as if the yard is untouched. Ready for a brand new trip down the hill or a hike to the bunny hutch.
I guess that is how I am feeling this month. I feel like I get a fresh start. Spiritually I feel renewed and ready to learn. Physically, I am excited about starting a lifestyle of taking care of my body, the temple of the Most Holy One. The kids are working on cleaning out their rooms to get unused toys sent to the thrift store and broken ones in the trash.
A new start, time to begin again. My goal is to work harder to keep things the way they are. I know that there is beauty in a fresh start, I just pray that when I get another chance, that this time, there won't be so much icky to cover up.
Lord, thank you for your blessing of fresh starts. They have such a renewing and refreshing feeling of hope. I pray that as I go from here that I will keep my focus on what you have for me. I ask for your guidance everyday as I take care of my responsibilities. May I do what you would have me to do. I pray that the next time you send a time of renewal, that I will not feel so overwhelmed with where I am, I want to be in your will everyday...even in the mundane. Thank you for being patient with me as I learn more about you and give up more of my selfish ambitions.
