Gorgeous morning here in the Mesilla Valley. But the mosquitos are SWARMING. After my last comments on being eaten by them, I took certain steps and as a result have had much less trouble. Until today. And of course, this morning, as I pulled the door shut I realized I’d not unlocked it. I don’t carry keys while walking the girls. Thank heavens Mudder was awake! We keep a spare at her place, and have one of hers, as well.
I learned something yesterday. Two somethings, actually. First, I learned that I need to remember that digital communication (blogs, emails, etc) do sometimes NOT convey what we’re trying to say, and so we need to give each other extra grace when reading what they write. That and we need to make sure we’re reading their entire comment, since some forms of transmission truncate messages!
But more importantly (at least I think it’s more importantly) I’ve been given the grace of seeing myself from other’s eyes. And in so seeing, discovering I do indeed have creative gifts. So I thank my new friend Mark, my cousin Dan, and an old pastor, Barb (perhaps “former” pastor would be more appropriate,) for speaking these to me.
And truth told, I know in my heart that I am creative, that I am gifted. Hint: I may not be dealing with SAD this year due to the sun, but I am dealing with the “unemployment blues”. So take my self pity for what it’s worth! Nada.
Prayer Intention
Yup, still asking for prayers for guidance in direction in my work like.
