Thursday Thinkings~

Today is Thursday. I usually grocery shop on Thursdays. I guess I pretty much have a schedule as I think about my daily life. I think I have found it easier for me to get all the important stuff in that way.

Today was a different Thursday though. I got up at my regular time and spent time reading scriptures, praying and writing in my journal (which I have come to love....didn't use to be that way, to my chagrin). My hubby and I had planned a special lunch today. So he came home around noon and off we went.

We went to Panera Bread and placed our order for their yummy sandwiches, soups(for them) and of course their divine salad (for he and I) and took them to his parents home to have a delightful time of lunching together---our treat. My hubby's parents are faithful loving servant of Christ. Not sure who enjoyed it more, them or us....smile!

After a lovely visit and full bellies, we were off and running again. What a funny conversation we had as we drove around doing some extra errands about my technical difficulties with downloading my ipod, using the computer and always not figuring out the DVD player without assistance from one of our brood. It is so EASY for my kids, yet I sometimes can't even get the TV on, much less on the right place. I push every button twice that they tell me to...no go!

I was once again reminded of how 'kind' my hubby is in explaining (again) how to download my ipod. He is a numbers man. He thinks in numbers. He is a walking concordance, honest. Just ask him for reference or verse and he will tell you. Just say the verse and he can tell you where it is in the Bible. Anyway....I am not at all like that. It is really sad. It takes me a few times of doing the same things over and over again to 'get it' with anything technical. I am a sad case, what can I say? Honest, I try. I really do. I just do not get how it all fits together. He is so kind to me. He is patient. He is loving. He doesn't make fun. I would be lost without his know how.

Isn't it funny how we are all different? What would life be like if we were all the same? I am glad God does things the way he does. Opposites attract. Similar s attract too, don't they? Yes, we each have the people in our lives that God has chosen to bring us the greatest lessons. Am I learning?

We got home and as I had dinner simmering on the stove early, my hubby said "come here, I want to show you something". What? Sit here and look at this. Put your fingers on the key board.......and he gave me another lesson using my ipod. What a guy! What thoughtfulness! Such kind words. I am so glad, I am so blessed, I even think I have it this time!

So off my hubby went to his meeting tonight. I sit here and count my blessings! I know that today is Thursday. Yet, not at all just like every other Thursday. Grace has entered my life today because HE was seen in the eyes of one very patient hubby with one very puzzled wife and her ipod struggles. Isn't HE wonderful!

Delighting in Jesus today, hugs, Lynette
