Rokinrev In a Different Light

This morning started out with a different perspective. I was planning on finishing the laundry before I had to go out to an appointment. But a not so great evening and a medication sleep changed that tune. So, it's 9am. I rushed the kettle so the oatmeal isn't as good as it could be; rushed the coffee pot so I had to mop up the drips…you know the drill.

And then, Inopen the devotional and get a smack upside the head: the Rev Kaji Dousa reminds me that when we “leave G-d out of your visioning there will be consequences. We can receive our signs and wonders. But sometimes we haven't done the work to be ready for them. That work begins with gratitude .”

So, my oatmeal is a bit watery and my coffee not as good as I might like it. And the laundry might not get done today. But I can remember having tea because there was no coffee and living off breakfast bars because I didn't have a hot pot. That wasn't so long ago

I may not be as all together as I want to be, but I am more than grateful to G-d and to those who care: the ones who look at the animal shelter wish list, the ones who drop-off sox and slippers for seniors at the local store and those who drop money into the Red Kettles in front of the big box store. We are grateful for your care.
