I knew this day would come sometime.
My first day not to get a Small Things Post out first thing in the morning. I hope you'll forgive me!
I went out to the west Texas town of Big Spring to work on a really exciting project with Life Church on Wednesday. They have just purchased the old (abandoned) high school and are renovating it into their church campus. It was incredible to see the huge vision Clint and Kami Collins have for their community, and to be a part of creating their story with graphic design, color, writing and concepting. What a cool, cool project to work on!!
The day got long and by 9 pm we sat down to eat at the only restaurant open in town, the local truck stop. Mmmmmm. Actually, it wasn't bad. With a 4 hour drive back to Dallas, we opted to crash at Clint and Kami's house for the night and attack it with a little sleep under out belt, rather than set off as tired as we were. Glad I had a toothbrush in my purse.
We made it home and now that I've had an hour nap and some more coffee, I think I can crank out a little work this afternoon.
Since it's so late in the day, I may have missed some of you girls who check in early. Hopefully you'll pop in before you crawl in bed because this Small Thing can be done just before your head hits the pillow.
Today's Small Thing is to say a prayer for your home. You can use any words you want, but here's a small prayer I wrote out and framed several years ago when the Lord started speaking to me about creating a home sanctuary:
Lord, make our home a Sanctuary
Grant us Peace
May we always honor You, treat each other with kindness, and do what is right.
Help us establish Order
May we live within our means, use our time wisely, and keep Your priorities.
Let it be filled with Beauty
May we enjoy the blessings of this life, reflect Your glory, and share what we have with others.
Amen.
Sometimes I get so busy doing stuff that I simply forget to pray over this place.
It's such a small thing. But it's everything.
POINTS: 30 for whispering a prayer tonight
