I have a small paper calendar to keep track of the errands of life; shopping notes, appointments, birthdays, usher duty at church, etc. You could say my life is somewhat organized, as long as I have the calendar with me. Should I misplace it, I may or may not remember to buy postage stamps, or arrive at church early for my ‘I forgot’ usher duty. The one thing I do not have to note in the calendar is prayer time; for prayer is not something one should ‘schedule.’ However, my calendar does have an effect on my prayers. Periodically I will stop and look at all the inked-in items and remind myself how grateful I am to have a wonderful, full life. Jesus, thank you for all of the blessings evidenced in my calendar.

When I pray before eating I thank the Lord for the beautiful colors of the food – blueberries, oranges, red strawberries, carrots, yes, even chocolate – because I am grateful that we do not live in a one color world. People are ‘amazed’ at the beautiful flowers, leaves, sunsets, but seem to overlook all the other beautiful colors of things the Lord has enriched our lives with.
