Now that I am home, it is difficult to know what to write about. I could write about taking the water bus to Venice, spending an evening in the Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris, or sitting next to a woman who’s name means “Wife of Shiva,” in Hindi on the 10+ hour flight from Paris to Seattle. I may write about those things in a later post. For now, I think I will try to tackle talking about just how energized I feel today.
Last night I went to bed shortly after enjoying my mother’s cooking and the company of my parents for the first time in over 8 months. Upon reaching the 6AM hour this morning, I had been sleeping for about 12 hours, which was just the right amount. I woke up singing, bright with a lively outlook, looking forward to every minute of today. And I was right to think that today would be a great day. I’ve been encouraging my closest friends to take the words which introduce the thought outlined by Psalm 96 and Psalm 98: “Sing to the LORD a new song…” God created this day new, and He has created us to be new in this day. What if the people you interact with on a daily basis were to meet a different person in you today? What would it take to change the tone of conversations you never enjoyed having in the past? And it has been a great day.
God has given me a wonderful family, and strong devoted friends. He loves me, and He seeks for me to follow Him so that I will prosper in all ways. It really is a lovely thing, being a human.
