On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

paths

 I had a dream last night that woke me up. It was a dream that I remember, the important parts at least. I remember realizing that I did not go the path that God wanted me to walk. I chose a different one. I asked God to forgive me. Now I'm up and about my morning and I stumbled across this post from a Million Praying Moms:

"In our home, Numbers 6:24-26 is known as the "special prayer." It's been the passage I pray over our children every night before they go to sleep. I think part of the reason I like to pray this passage so much and possibly why I choose to pray scripture most of the time is because I'm so keenly aware of my lack. I know better than anyone how short I fall as a mom, wife, and child of God. If I made a list of all my weaknesses, I'd never get done. And I'm aware that this lack in me directly affects my children.
Today's devotion and prayer is taken from Everyday Prayers for Peace: A 30-Day Devotional & Reflective Journal for Women, by Brooke McGlothlin Get your copy here --> https://amzn.to/3MuSg7R

"Redeem anything that's been lost in my life" 

This prayer made my heart cry out to God the Father to please forgive me and help me to use what time I have left to accomplish what I was meant to do. I fall so short on just about every issue there is. I want to be who I was made to be and do what I was meant to do. 

That scripture that Jesus talks about Micah 6:8 in Luke 11:42-43 just popped into my mind. If I have gone too far off the path, or while I live, until I know what I should be doing: do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with God. 



He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God  

Micah 6:8 KJV
