Hitting the Books Again

As most of you know, I love to play the piano, but due to my illness and strong medication I have not been able to play. Yesterday, I played and it went very well. It is best to practice every day, because you never know when you might have to play at church. My sister usually plays when our church pianist is on vacation, but since she is getting married in December, I will have to fill in. I love to play congregational hymns, it is a great way to use my talent for The Lord.

While I was sick, Grandma Lois, my adopted grandmother, gave me a devotional journal called Tapestry Hope & Healing by Adrian Rogers. Today I picked up where I left off. The devotion for today talked about when eaglets are learning to fly. Mama bird would stir up the nest by beating on it with her wings causing the nest to be thorny, just like how God stirs up our nest with some difficulties and troubles. Guess what the first question was? "What are some things in you life that you might now be able to look at and see as 'blessings in disguise'?" See yesterday's blog entitled, "A Blessing In Disguise".  It is so cool how God places these kinds of things in our paths!
