Today, a full day; tomorrow, a full day. I love having full days. I'm a person who enjoys having something "next" to do; something to look forward to. Don't get me wrong, however, I enjoy those occasional, rare, jewels of a day days where I have nothing to do but to sleep and relax. =) Full days for me though also equal a full mind, a full "to-do" list and often in need of a full tank of gas. At least until March I will be driving from Spartanburg to Greenville each day. This is a trip that I've come to enjoy however and look forward to sometimes. Thirty minutes of just sitting isn't too bad. I can wake up, or pray, or sing, or just think. Think about my full day ahead of me!
*Joke of the Day:
How do you spot Adam and Eve at a costume party? (ignoring the fact that they are wearing fig leaves/garments of skin)
They have no navel!*
Tonight at bible study we talked about imago dei, the image of God. I am an image of God. You are an image of God. Some of us shine more brightly than others I think but all are images of God. We talked about how in ancient Egypt's time Pharaoh would declare his authority and remind the people of his lofty position by having statues made in his image and how through creation, and us, God does this too.Except He did it first, before Pharaoh.
We talked about how man finds joy in being productive, in working. I find this true in my own life. I find great joy when I am being creative, in big or small ways. I find great joy when I see my creative ideas come to fruition, especially when the end result is how I had imagined or planned it. This joy is evidence of being made in His image - the joy of being a creator; a producer of something. What a great gift too. At work lately I've been blessed with this joy and I'm so thankful for it.
Adam and Eve had no navel because they were created in full maturity and perfection. Interesting, huh?
