What do I have?

What do I have? I have work today: classes to plan and papers to grade. I have food to eat: cafeteria adventures for lunch and fruit for supper. What do I have? I have mostly an ordinary day. But as I have been sitting here in my office trying to write a to-do list, I've been distracted. It is the best distraction in the world. I'm distracted by two simple questions. One, what do I have today? I have the omnipotent power of God to rest on. Two, what do I have today? I have the love of Christ reaching out and encircling me right now. These two questions and these two answers are the gift for my day. God is mixing himself into ordinariness. I'm blessed!
