Prayer for today

As the deer panteth for the water, so my soul longeth after thee; you alone are my heart's desire and I long to worship thee. You alone are my strength my shield, to you alone may my spirit yield. You alone are my heart's desire and I long to worship thee. Listen...

It's Monday - Let's Mend

Well later in the day, but a good time to cover our ideas for today. It's Monday, so let's make it good. Monday is always a good day for starting fresh. It's like getting a do-over every single week. Every Sunday I get big ideas for the newness of the upcoming week, and Monday is a good beginning to start fresh. Let's make Monday a day for mending. There are always buttons and bows that have fallen, throw pillows with split seams, hems that need to be taken in or let out. If we get these off our to do list, we can move on to NEW things rather than repairing the old.


(A thought: If the mending takes too much time and money, consider tossing things out. It may be cheaper and quicker to replace in some cases.)


Now on to Monday's Mend...there are other things in my life that need mending. Plenty around the house and in the closets. Plenty more outside, especially in preparation for Spring. All of our mending won't happen the first time we sit down. But we can carve out some time each week and gradually get caught up. While we are on the mend, do you have relationships that are strained or broken? Is your patience too short, are your rants too long? I could go on and on.


If you feel torn, if something in your home or life or heart is broken or ripped apart; let's move toward mending. How can we do that? Slowly and surely, with care and discipline; and loads of prayer. It will take thought and detail, and you will feel great relief for having completing just one thing. Once you've started your mend, post it in our comments below: let's see where everyone it...I have to repair two throw pillows and tighten the stitch on the relationship with my oldest son. I'm eager to get started. Love to all, Mare
