Thoughts for Thursday

Wednesday was a good day.  The housekeeper came.  She missed last week because of the icy weather. She lives across Lake Ponchartrain and drives in on the 24 mile causeway bridge.  It was closed for three days because of black ice! I appreciate the clean house.  Having a weekly housekeeper was one of the allowances I took to assist me in my care for mom.  It is good to realize my limits and to get help where I can.
Today was fruitful. I actually spent some time in my new office.  I am preparing one part of a talk on prayer to be given next week.  One realization I had was that even though I have a nice prayer format online that I like to use :  www.sacredspace.ie , I am easily distracted by checking email or Facebook and not staying focused on prayer.  So sometimes I just need to put away the electronics and use a prayer book and bible.  Such a revelation! :-).
I also took mom to bingo today.  Grace Marie and I laughed when mom was insisting that she could wear her warm bathrobe to bingo.  I convinced her to shower and put on real clothes!  A triumph.  And she won $5 and a set of candleholders today.  She was thrilled.  But I have a hard time staying awake at bingo.
So Thursday nights are fairly uneventful  here.  No meetings for anyone.  Nice to just relax.  So you'll notice I  am actually writing this before midnight! And being quite prolific.
So my thoughts for Thursday? I will leave you with this quote from scripture:

"You will search for me,” God declared. “And when you search for me with all your heart, you will find me. I will let you find me” (Jeremiah 29:13).  What a promise!
