Today was interesting....a gentleman who was having a garage sale gave us a bag of food and a bag of books...the campground we are staying at this weekend gifted us with two nights free.
People see the sign "3300 Miles for CHRIST" on our RV or notice the Biblical attire I wear while walking and God touches their heart. I don't understand it all but I am glad to be a part of whatever God is up to in the hearts of His people.
The shoulders of the road disappeared after about six miles of walking. Finally I came across a picnic area and called Lucy to come and park the RV. It was a beautiful place to take a break. As I waited for her, I noticed a bluebird on the limb of a rather large tree. It was beautiful and it stayed perched there for a long time. I asked it to come closer so that I could see it more clearly but it didn't move.
I heard it whisper to my spirit "Be grateful we spent this time together even at a distance." With that it hopped from branch to branch until it disappeared from my view. I thought to myself "Why is it that no matter what gift God gives us we want more?" If only I could get closer, I had thought. If I had gotten closer I would have wanted to hold the bird. I f I held the bird I would have wanted it to stay with me. Then I would have wanted to show everyone "my" bluebird.
Guide me, Lord, to be thankful for the goodness of people; the beauty of nature and the gift of liberty. I seek to be less coveting of "more" but rather grateful for all that I already possess...freedom, abundance, good health and true love.
