It’s afternoon on a Monday.  School is finished for the day and children are tucked away for an hour of quiet.  I settle in at the kitchen work station to perform a few quotidian mysteries.   But first I do my maternal soul work and count the blessings of the week past.

0733.  a dog that didn’t fit but was desperately loved

0734.  doggie “grandparents” that loved her even more

0735.  being really impressed with our vet

0736.  days and weeks that get all interrupted

0737.  sunshine and water

0738.  a leotard that fits!

0739.  the weekend and friends to share it with

0740.  small group gatherings and good conversation

But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the Lord!”

~Psalm 40:16

May your Monday be filled with rejoicing and gladness, for truly, “Great is the Lord!”
