perfect Sabbath

Today, I got to sleep in and even managed an afternoon nap. Our Bible study has reached the chapter on the Sabbath, so this truly felt like a perfect Sabbath day for me.

I’ve been resisting the urge to jump into the marketplace or browse online shopping sites to buy things for the house. I’ve been seeking God’s guidance on whether to make purchases, using the coin as a way to discern His will. So far, I’ve faithfully obeyed it every time.

He provided

Once again, He provided—today, a lady was giving away free items. We went with our truck, and she gave us far more than we expected, and every single item was something we needed.

On the way home, my husband and I had a deep, open-hearted conversation about the confusing gender issues in our culture, which have been causing some tension between us. I felt a bit defensive when it came to women’s topics, but I was able to channel peace from the Holy Spirit to keep the conversation meaningful and open. I can sense that we both experienced a lot of healing from this discussion. Now, it’s almost 1 a.m., and we’ve continued to have more meaningful conversations sparked by our earlier discussion.

Lord, thank You for being in our hearts and connecting our souls. May I always be Your humble servant, loving the people You bring into my life and bringing glory to Your Kingdom.
