First Things First

Daughter Lauri called early this morning.  "How about seeking out a few garage sales?"  Sounds good to me but I haven't spent my time with the Lord yet today.  She said she hadn't either and that we would both do that when we got back and hold each other accountable as well. . We had a good time looking for signs and finally finding the ones whose signs were a bit confusing.  I didn't find anything exciting but it was fun to look at the treasures people are parting with.  Lauri found a very nice black framed full length mirror for her girls.  Other than that, we kept our money in our pocket.  When we returned home, it was time to give God some time.  I found it rather awkward trying to get into something I usually do in the early hours of the day.  I think I learned a lesson.  Make sure I get it in early on Thursday mornings.  First things first as Scripture tells us.  

It is just a beautiful day today.  I remember well the days I worked at school and could only look out the windows.  So, my heart goes out to all you who are working indoors and couldn't get out to enjoy the day. Perhaps there will be a few nice hours after you are get off.
