Psalm 63:6 KJV
When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
It seems at night when I lay down to sleep, I think about my day that's passed. I wonder could I have done this or that differently. Did I choose the best thing, the thing God would have me to choose? Have I been to busy and overlooked the things I really should have seen and done? Lately when our little granddaughter comes to visit us, I've been amazed by some word or action on her part that really touches my heart. She comes up with such things as, after coloring with crayons on our TV screen, "but Nanee it's the colors of the rainbow, isn't it beautiful?" I was thinking how am I going to get that off the screen and she was seeing the colors of the rainbow. We were working out in the yard a few days ago and she told me I had a boo-boo and I asked where and she pointed to my leg and sure enough I had scratched it. She often takes my hand to go look at rocks and to pick the tiniest flowers. She tells me "Nanee, I brought you a flower." Yes my days are sometimes busy, but should they be to busy to stop and let a little girl look for a tiny flower or to have a pretend cup of tea or to color in a coloring book? You will never get those moments back no matter how much you want them. I often neglect my Heavenly Father. I don't read His word, nor meditate on it like I should. Nor have I been obedient to His plans for my day. I am certainly glad I have time at night to ponder and repent on my wasted day. I will tell you if you are too busy for God, for the meaningful things in life, you are just to busy. I'm so glad God will help me where I need help and I can run to the shadow of His wings, to rejoice in His forgiveness. start your day with God and never be too busy. Your smile or kind words may be what someone needs. You never know if the face you see hides a broken heart or maybe facing situations we'll never know about. Your family may need a hug or a word of praise. When you lay down tonight, count your blessings and have no regrets.
