Number Nine

A bag of recycles.

That's the bag today.
Coke cans. 
Empty medcine bottles. 
Some pieces of cardboard.

Not very sexy.  No big revelation here.  Just an ordinary day. 

Some days are like that. 

In our world, today held:

A close basektball game, with the other team winning.  Season's over.

A very funny story straight out of the blue about
Rocket Man's grandfather (Rocket Man Jr.-mine is Rocket Man IV)

The seed of a dream.

Special time with Boy Wonder.

Running into an old friend.

True heartbreak in the workplace.

In some ways, it seems like the good outweighs the bad.
But the bad was pretty big.

What to do?
With recycles, we're looking to see what can be done with plastic and some metal packaging to create something new.  Doing out part to conserve and repurpose.

What about the other?
For the lost basketball game
Oh, well!
Looking to next sport-next season

From the funny story
our tears were of laughter

For the seed of a dream
we are hopeful

For tender heart of the Boy Wonder
we are in awe

For the old-friend sighting
we are thankful that our feet were along God's path
because he needed some encouragement and kind words.

For all the good things of today
We offer thanks with grateful hearts.
With the heartbreak and brokenness of the day, we are doing the best we know to do. 
Praying for wisdom. 
Trusting in grace. 
Standing firm in our faith.


Recycle our used up lives, Dear Lord, and repurpose us for Your Kingdom.
