perhaps another day with glorious sun

shining harshly this morning
but with that potential of shining warm today
yesterday afternoon sparkling beautiful in the golden afternoon window

this little life is so good
such wonderful magnificent little blessings

waking in my warm safe bed
able to walk into my own warm floored bathroom
hot coffee
my hubby in his morning spot on the sofa
every morning still trying to find news
sipping the day's first familiar sweetness
sitting at the window
hot showers
grocery stores


a first anniversary!
a fortieth birthday cocktail party

jobs to go to
a job where I come home covered in glitter!
how awful is that?!?!?
    though I'm sure I'm going to die
    from chinese glitter asbestos cancer...?!?
ushered into eternal life by glitter poisoning

but...this is all part of life eternal...
this little life is the beginning of eternity
     ...part two...I think...
     part one was somewhere long ago
     being know at the foundation of the world
     so somewhere we were in existence?!?!?

this life is melding and molding me for the life we will live forever....
...eternity

I won't suddenly become someone else
that holy saint I long to be
I will still be me
but refined and ready
finished here and ready for forever

is it happening?
I do not doubt that that is what the Lord is accomplishing
and I do believe His purposes are accomplished...

and I long to yield to His will
in this life
to become just what He longs for me to be

that weaned child on her mother's lap at peace
weaned from that which is perfect and good
natural, normal, necessary and nourishing

weaned...
I'm guessing not like the almost should be weaned wee ones
who sit on momma's lap and pull and tug on her shirt
knowing there's something they want there for them!?!?!

totally weaned...
able to sit at peace
in this rich wonderful normal and natural  world
of goodness and comfort
no longer wanting
at peace
waiting ready for the world of grown up adult living

hmmm?!?!?

just thinking
