The Ordinary.
MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️
I was thinking some more on my last sentence I wrote yesterday…that the ORDINARY can also be sacred. I thought of the burning bush….just a common ole bush in the middle of the desert…sacred when touched by God. I thought of two pieces of wood, fit together to form a cross….ordinary, but sacred when touched by God. I thought of each of us, perhaps doing “ordinary work” day in and day out…soooo SACRED when we allow God to be IN it and flow through it.
The majority of our lives are filled with ordinary, everyday moments…many of which we just pass by and don’t even consider how sacred they are. Caring for our children. Loving on our parents. Tending to a sick loved one. Keith came home last night….after a LONNGGG day of work…and he knew that Katherine and I both had a cold/cough. He came in the house with bags from Dollar General full of ginger ale and cold and flu meds and more zycam…all the things. I laid in bed last night thinking how “ordinary” that could have seemed…but gosh, it’s so sacred, so beautiful, so ordinary but yet EXTRAordinary.
