Which Servant Are You?

And so we begin! We begin this journey not in any particular month or on any specific day, but we begin it just the same as I am writing it. This is Day one. Grab a cup of tea, come sit by the window with me. Last evening was a full moon. A full moon near the end of January! Pretty chilly – 4 degrees – but the temperatures dropped so quickly that it even caught the ice by surprise! Everything was covered this morning with “hoar frost”, as they call it here in Ohio. As the sun just started pushing over the rooftops, it glistened and then seemingly in fear of being caught, disappeared and it was as though it had never existed at all. The winter garden begged to be explored. The frumpy sparrow sat, all puffed up, waiting for the bird feeder to be filled and so I grabbed my coffee can of bird food and my camera and set out for a closer look. I am always struck with awe and wonder at the individual creation of each new day. Not one is ever the same!
What new things have you permitted your Heavenly Father to bless you with today? Have you looked? I say permitted because there are blessings in abundance every day if only we take the time to ask for them, look for them and thank Him for them.
Each new day is a gift that has been given to us to see what we are going to do with it. Read the Tale of the Talents today, found in Matthew 25:14-30. Which servant are you?
