Day 135 - Crossing the Path

Today was another pretty day in my city.  Temperatures in the upper 70's.  You just can't beat that for this time of year.  Everyone is busy making plans for Thanksgiving and the holidays are off and running.

I have always used the Friday after Thanksgiving to decorate my house for Christmas.  This year will be no exception.  I love this time of year.  There is nothing more grand than celebrating Christ's birth and also our season of Thanks except Easter.  I can't wait for the tree to go up, lights, ornaments and then holiday music and egg nog.

Tonight I have my first holiday party with a group of ladies I met when we entered a contest to attend Pat Smith's "Treasure You Girlfriend Retreat."  So much has happened in my life since then, September 2012.  I can't wait to share it with the girls.  Of course the event won't be complete without a picture of all of us.  (I'll have to tweet it to Pat :))

Lord, I am so happy for the friends in my life.  It is because of relationships You went to the cross.  May I be found always head over heals in love with You.  Amen

Climbing the path with another healing souvenir.  I'm on the lookout for other trinkets.  I know the way will be challenging but I hear this particular climb has the best views once you arrive.  I'm eager to see the beauty of nature but I don't want to miss the 'broken' places along the way which are in need of a touch.  

Today I saw a squirrel scamper across my path and up a tree.  He flew so fast you couldn't even make out his legs.  I stopped to watch him play and thought about all the times I was so busy I couldn't be bothered to stop.  It was only a squirrel but it represents someone crossing my path.  I think the message today is to make sure I notice the people who intersect my life.  You just never know who God is going to use to be pivotal in your life.
