A Doxology Day

   As I look back on yesterday (Sunday), what I see is a day of blessing.

   Some of it may be somewhat trivial, but a lot was straight from God (maybe all of it), but you be the judge.

   Start it off with a beautiful morning, sunshine and cooler, with clear skies.

   Then embellish the day with our viewing of the streaming live service of our church. Since it is not easy for us to attend in person, this is the next best thing. The service was good, the sermon right on, and it was a good way to begin the day.

   After a snack and a walk around the condo area, we came back in for a nice lunch and a time of rest on the back porch.

   Knowing that I had planned to spend the day with her, as I do most every day, Mayre encouraged me to find someone to play 9 holes of golf with. That I did, and had a good round, only 3 over par, a score that I don't often get these days.

   This may have been the trivial blessing, but it sure felt good to me to be able to get out and hit that little white ball around, and even come back with the same ball at the end of the round. A good two hour walk for sure.

   Then as the day wore on toward evening, the phone rang and our neighbor upstairs wanted to know if she could bring us something for our supper. She had fixed some salad dishes for a picnic, and, since they were leaving the next day, she had more than they could use.

   I was sitting on the back porch when that call came, and I had just been thinking of what I might have for supper.

   Bingo!

   A meal of potato salad, kale salad, and chicken salad with even a strawberry dessert. It was all good and very appreciated. We even had a pasta salad to carry over till today (Monday).

   I have never heard a day that had the adjective "Doxology" attached to it, but to me, it fit perfectly.

   So we thanked God for all the blessings of this day, and the people in our lives that helped make it possible.

   And we were happy to sing...

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.


Amen and Amen



And the sun set on a great Sunday. (photo taken at the end of a Sunday at Epworth by the Sea.)
