One Ordinary Life....One Extraordinary God....One Defining Moment

Father, this is the day.

What a gift You offer me.
To capture a day in a lifetime of days
And let it sing the song of a surrendered longing fulfilled.

Be honoured today, Lord.
Be honoured
  • For the extraordinary way You take an ordinary life and make it more than it should be.
  • For the extraordinary way You line up other extraordinary-ordinary people and let them release the potential in each other.
  • For the extraordinary way You breathe life and hope and productivity into smoldering wicks and broken reeds.
  • For the extraordinary way You can turn a day, an ordinary day, into a defining moment, an anchor point in time, to declare the alchemy of an ordinary life turned extraordinary by You.
Every ecstatic and torturous moment
Every loyalty, every betrayal
Every word of healing and of destruction
Every frustration, every joy
All for this moment of understanding:
You don't waste a thing.

So be honoured today Yahweh
Be honoured
Open my heart
Open my hands
To receive Your promised abundance
On this defining day.

Your servant always,
Ruth Anne

Kathleen,

Thank you for your meaningful and very encouraging comment. Something happened when I tried to publish, so I'm going at it this way.

Kathleen says:

Who could possibly miss such an extraordinary event? I am so very proud of you and humbly and overwhelmingly admire you and your connection to God. I watch how you share your faith and connection to Jesus and God and share with others in your quite dignified way. As only you understand, I write this humbly, while crying.

Kathleen

An ordinary day made extraodinary by God and the people you have shared His love with you.

You, and His reputation, inspire me to greatness . . . and realignment.
