Glory to God

   Today, I had a dentists appointment.  It was to check out some work that was causing me such immaculate pain that just breathing in air-conditioned air was agony.  My little sister and I prayed together while she was in the hospital that the visit would be:

1. Fast
2. Free
3. Painless
4. Assuring

  I feel great relief and blessings when I say: Hallelujah! :)

Passage Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
   After this visit, my Mom and I took our time and browsed through thrift stores and consignment shops on our way home from Flora.  When we got home, I decided that I would let her take me out to dinner before I came back to Carbondale; we brought The Grandmother (TG).  On our way home from the eatery we looked up to the clouds, and just as an offhanded comment TG says, "The clouds are the dust from God's feet, you know.."  No, Gram, I didn't know.
   I thought to myself on the way home, "Lord, if the insignificant specks of dust from upon your feet--the dirt and particles that we humans take time and effort to remove--can be this miraculous and beautiful... who will I be? Not a single one of the pieces that I ever create can even compare.  My life's work isn't worth the dust on your feet."

Passage Nahum 1:3:
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
   Take the time today to thank God for your talents; those seen and unseen.  Use them for the furthering of His kingdom and to accurately depict to those around you what a true Christian should look like.
