You see, some sneaky wife, who will remain nameless, snook in a pile of envelopes with days listed on them. Now I know, I graduated from a small country school in the upstate of South Carolina, but even I could figure out that I should open each envelope on the designated day.
Not only did the sneaky spouse leave me a pile of envelopes, a pile was also left for a fellow traveler whom we were asked to pray for along the journey.

| You will notice that not only were there hand written notes from the sneaky spouse, but also her helping brood of children left pictures. They also left verses for each day! |
So, the message on Saturday came, and I mistakenly waited until the night time to read it----it should have been a morning thing. Anywho, it reads:
"All of your works will thank you, LORD, and your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom; they will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations.
The LORD always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does."
Psalms 145:10-13
Imagine how much love I was feeling every time I was able to open an envelope. Not only was I getting an intentional line of scripture, but the personalized notes also told me what she was praying for that day (she kept a copy by our bedside table, I later learned). How awesome and loved did I feel? Pretty much, totally! Not only from my sneaky spouse, but from the GOD whose image she was created in; the GOD whom we are called to not only worship, but spread the great news of His Son; the God whose image we reflect, and we are to show not only in the words of our mouths, but our actions, thoughts and deeds---and do so as a response to His Graciousness.
So yes, my intentions was to keep going at a quick clip with this blog and my narrative about my trip---but God has other plans, and who am I to not follow them?
