An hour

Early this morning my dearest man left for a 4 day tractor trek with some mates. This means that I have those days at home alone and it's great. Now that may sound bad to some folks, but for us it is what we agree, is a very healthy side of our almost 50yr marriage. While we treasure our time together most days, now that we are retired, we also appreciate times apart, following our interests.

For most of his working life my dearest was a shift worker, so I am well used to being on my own, and at times I have travelled to UK to visit family on my own, and have also been on many Christian retreats.

So....Today I have decided to try living this day, hour by hour, and now that I am dressed and done some necessaries, my first hour is to be spent with God in our trysting corner of my studio. I have my coffee and bikkie and now to relax, knowing I am totally free, time wise , with no interruptions.

My cross is a Celtic Cross, for no particular reason other than I saw it in a shop, there was a surge in my heart, and I bought it. I do love it's design and the little place that fits a tea lite candle perfectly.

I used to have a special retreat cabin in our last garden, but alas it had to stay behind when we subdivided our land and shifted down to our cottage here, at the other end of the property.

But here is just fine and dandy. I have my corner set up, and it's just across the porch, so no problemo if it's wet, or indeed cold,as here we have power. Praise the Lord.

This is my journal for my times set aside with my Lord. Sometimes I don't write, but usually do. Just as it comes. Always starting with "Here I am Lord". That is my mission , to be here with my Lord. And He never fails to meet me. I write whatever I'm thinking, saying, hearing, and, or inspired to write. So this is today's.

You may be shocked by some of it, but it IS AS IT IS.

There it is. My hour with God. Being honest, laying it bare, hearing His words and wisdom, enjoying His company , closeness and embrace, rejoicing in His blessings, and the transformation in my heart, mind and soul in these recent days.

All Praise and thanksgiving to Our Great and Glorious God, in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit

     Amen.......

Blessings, Trills xx
