Happiness Today

Today there is happiness because...
the product of a long prepared Bible study has been delivered. The two leaders who could not have a study session without busting into a fit of giggles only laughed one time during the actual study. Ahem

The sky was bright blue today and the clouds were pure white with lovely fluffy edges. The weather was warm like a spring day ought to be, so we dined for lunch on the picnic tables. We smacked our lips while quite barbarically eating BBQ ribs with our fingers. It was an most unladly like meal, but oh my was it ever good. I only used 4 napkins.

A paper needed written and books should have been read, but instead I went gallivanting about the town with my roommate and found it to be a much better pastime. We chattered about silly things and than our voices were low and we talked about the serious matters of the heart. And I wondered how I could be so blessed with such kindred spirit of a roommate?

Later it was time to put on dresses with flowing skirts and satin fabric to make sure the attire fit just right for banquet. I must admit I never stopped liking to play dress up. When I was small child I firmly believed ordinary days could be made extraordinary by putting on a terribly out of style prom dress just to do my chores in.

Why do I write these words? Because tonight I feel unhappy at life for no good reason. This is why I sit down and recount the little things that God gave, just to make my day happy.

I think though the very best thing about today was the study of the life Peter. He was a man who failed awfully, Peter was a man who God used in His grace, God even used the failures for His glory, and it is this that encourages me.
