2 is better than 1

3 is better than 2.

Little words of encouragement I need delivered to my email inbox.

It was a long and frustrating week at work.

So Friday seemed a little long yesterday.

Especially when you begin the day with a unsettling feeling of “disharmony”.

Sometimes its hard navigating through all of that and trying to shoot some prayers up; maintain perspective and composure.

Then I shot an email to Mel.

Over came a simple, quick response of uplifting little gems.

Usually, shortly after sending, I sense relief/release.

I am sure its when the intercession started.

Her prayers are precious and I covet them

I need to do the same for her.

And for us too.

We were chatting, closing the day out.

Precious just sharing.

Communicating.

That was probably the best part of the day for me.

We connected and bonded.

She reminded me of where I have a propensity for righteousness (not good; its the human nature kind).

Also, I need to see and minister to her needs as a leader in the family.

I think its something stirring and a re-kindling that hasn’t been seen around here in a while; actually ministering to others in the Spirit.

Its been a while.

Good.

I was just saying…its good sometimes you hear something good and you are reaping so much mileage from it.

So good.

Positive words with depth spoken into the spirit.

Its good.

Thanks.

2 is better than 1 and 3 is better than 2.

你是我的家 you are my home

Mel’s been going to a Chinese class the past couple of weeks. She came home this week fresh from her lesson, she says

“你是我的家“。 (ni shi wo de jia)

You are my home.

I wasn’t very encouraging or loving when I brushed it off.

It doesn’t quite sound grammatically correct nor do we actually say it like that in Chinese.

I realized this morning during devotion that I had “missed” a moment.

A creative moment.

A juxtaposition of words that formed a unique expression in a new found language.

I apologized.

She is my home and I am hers.

A unique oneness.

Home.

A place of rest.

Love.

Comfort.

Security.

Trust.

Support.

You are my home.

I am reminded of the concepts of being “at home” with God.

Like David, desiring to be in God’s presence.

To be in that place of intimacy and oneness and knowing.

I am also reminded of those few lines I wrote a while ago:

take me home
to my slides+swings
my favorite things
forever

take me home
my legos+dreams
to my childhood playthings
forever

Another thing I realized in this AM’s devotion was to not neglect your home.

Serve, minister to others but not at the expense of your home.

Thank you for my home.

Of late learning how to enjoy being in the moment of things. Like my wife always says, to be “all there”…to enjoy being in that place, time, event, experience etc.

Not that that has to be necessarily enjoyable, but to be at liberty to be in the joy of the moment.

Was thinking more about this enjoy/injoy thing this AM while readying for the day.

As it turns out it was not a very “enjoyable” day. Work challenges. I think I tried to in/enjoy it.

We learned what sharing God’s love is all about. Again. Not us.

That, we injoyed.

We did watch an episode of Love Boat. No, that’s not how we learned it.

That too, we enjoyed.

Learning. Still and always.

Good night.

I had seen him on the bus before and I think we get off at the same stop too.

He gestured to a mother and her child as he offers them his seat. Maybe it was a sacrifice of convenience since he was getting off at the next stop. But that was still nice.

On a different note…our everything instantaneous world is robbing us of the procedure to proven character. We are saturated with this in our attitude its hard to recognize. Maybe even cloaked in the guise of efficiency/cutting our losses, we miss the mark?

I conceived this as a

challenge/experiment

for myself to

do something that

is counter intuitive to my nature

and that is to

log/record/document

observations/experiences/impressions/expressions/interactions

spiritual or otherwise

in my very daily life

that which is good, acceptable and perfect.
