March 8, 2018

6:00 am Alarm clock woke me. I jumped out of bed. Ready for the day ahead. I started humming quietly "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice in it." I got dressed, and then went downstairs to fix breakfast for my wonderful family.
6:30 Don got up at 6 and came to the kitchen. I gave him a big kiss and said "Good morning." He works so hard to take care of us. This morning he had an early meeting to attend so he didn't eat breakfast. Instead, he drank OJ and took coffee and toast with him.
6:45 I woke the children up and they happily clamored downstairs to eat a hearty meal of oatmeal and fruit that I had prepared. We said the morning prayer and we chatted while they ate, about the day ahead. When they were finished, I cleared off the table while they went back up to get ready. I had laid their clothes out for them the night before.
7:45 The bus driver honked the horn, and the boys grabbed their lunches and backpacks, gave me a kiss goodbye and off they went.
8:00 With a cup of coffee and my bible I sat down at the table for my morning bible study and prayer. Today, I studied Psalm 91. It is so wonderful to know that God protects us. Thank you, God.
9:00 I looked around the house to see what chores needed to be done before I went off to the grocery store to buy items to make a nice dinner before church tonight. I swept the carpet and did the breakfast dishes. The kids made their beds as they do every morning and their rooms are tidy.
10:30 Back home from the store, I put the groceries away. I hid the treat I got for dessert until it is time to serve it. We eat healthy food and sweets are only allowed for special times.
11:00 I worked on my Sunday School lesson for my children's class until 12:00 and then ate lunch.
12:30 Working in the garden can be hard work but I started getting it ready for the veggies and flowers we will soon be planting. Ater that I needed a break.
3:00 The kids will be home soon. Charlie Jr. is working on a project for his Science Fair so I got out the materials he needs for it. While he works on that, I helped  Chris with his homework.
4:30 Don was home from work and went out to play catch with the boys while I fixed dinner.
5:30 The blessing said, we chatted about our daily events while we ate dinner.
6:45 Left for church. The pastor had a good study in Romans tonight.
9:00 The children in bed, Don nand I sit quietly on the couch watching a tv program and discussing plans for the weekend.
10:30 With Don now sleeping soundly, I pull out my bible and do my nightly devotions. After I laid my head on my pillow, that song runs through my mind again. This was truly a day that the Lord had made. Thank you, God. Good night. I drifted off to sleep knowing all is well.

Jane's day on March 8th was a good day and a very fruitful one. No problems. No worries. Perfect. Wouldn't you say?  But is your life really that way? I doubt it. I know mine isn't. Come back tomorrow for a look at a more normal kind of day And then what it should look like as we live the Christian life.

           Have a blessed day. Bless those around you. Take care.
