Today's lesson is:
By the time most of you read this, it'll be Sunday so here's a little lesson for the Lord's Day.
I talk a lot about the things the Lord does in my life. I've mentioned that still, small voice inside that prompts me to do this or that from time to time. I've written about some of the very odd things that happen to me. Lest you think that I'm completely nuts (and I know some of you do), I want to share this with you today.
The blog serves as a great way to go back and look at something I said that seemed odd at the time; only to have later events unfold that make sense out of the nonsense. I mentioned on the blog a while back that I felt the need to clean my house. Why, I had no idea at the time and we keep the place pretty well tidy, but it's clean. Up top. I didn't quite make it to the basement, though.
A couple of weeks ago, I told June I needed to get down there, but this or that got in the way. I didn't even though I had it in my head that I needed to. I didn't listen this time (one of the rare occasions I don't) and now I'm going to be spending what's left of the weekend down there. I have a couple of drywall boo-boos to fix, a bathroom to paint, and a drain that needs some attention. There are things that need to be thrown away, I'm sure. The basement kind of became a catch-all for the stuff that didn't have a home and the holiday decor.
I found out today that the VA would like to reappraise the joint. On Wednesday.
So what's the take-away? It's good to listen to God. He really knows what He's doing, even though things might not make sense at the time. It will in God's time and as I was reminded of, His timing is perfect. I'm grateful that I listened to that when I did and grateful for that little reminder.
I'm not where I need to be but it won't take that long to get there. I will be there on Wednesday though, because I listened to that still, small voice that told me I needed to get things done a couple of months ago. If I'd hit the downstairs last weekend, I could enjoy my day off tomorrow. Instead, I'm gonna be Joe fix-it.
