Continuing the Day with the Lord

Last time, we talked about starting the day with the Lord. Have you been starting each day with “Thank you, Lord”?

Now on the second day of a new week, let’s talk about continuing the day with the Lord.

On Sunday, the first day of the week, I went to church and left all my troubles at the door. There’s no better way to begin the week than to worship the Lord in His house. I listened to my pastor/chaplain husband preach. What an inspiration he is! That’s one of the reasons I married him seven years ago.

Listen to his sermon - The Power of the Holy Spirit - and be inspired. You can also listen to a song from More Than a Voice. The selection changes periodically but all are magnificent songs about the Holy Spirit. The words and music will bring you the peace and tranquility you feel in God’s house.

I felt that peace and tranquility this morning as I continued my conversation with God while I took a walk and watched the deer along the side of the road. They are such beautiful animals staring off into the distance with their big brown eyes framed by their long eyelashes.

They remind me that God created a world of beauty for us to enjoy. His creation is such a blessing to us, but being able to communicate directly and personally with Him is an even greater blessing. Life is not a bed of roses - it’s filled with hills and dales. However, life is so much simpler when we have God with us. He is the only one who understands our problems and brings us through our grief and pain.

After my walk, I returned home refreshed and at peace, ready to face the duties of the day with the Lord beside and within me.

Blessings to you, Patricia Eytcheson Taylor
