Oh what a glorious day! A Sunday that now slowly winds to a close, I can look back now and simply sigh in contentment, thanking God for this day that he has made. Typically I do enjoy my Sundays but this was one for the books. Started off on a good note, as yesterday a cold front rolled through so instead of it being mid-80s this morning, was mid-50s! So of course when I woke up, could not resist going for a nice early morning walk. Well, kind of early. It was before 8 at least! Made a cup of coffee and then down the MKT trail I went. There were others out and about (bundled as appropriate for this early April chilly day) and though the sun was not quite shining, that was no matter. A beautiful walk.

And after? Well I shall not go into detail of all the things, but a lovely time at church was had – worshipping the Lord and celebrating the Lord’s supper with dear brothers and sisters in Christian fellowship. Afterwards me and Dani decided tacos were in order so yummy breakfast tacos were enjoyed and then we made our way home at long last…I shall not say what time to preserve our dignity. After my (annoyingly persistent) daily work call, we ventured forth once again – a nice 3 mile walk or so up the Boomtown way and then down and around to swing the MKT trail once again this fine evening. The light slowly starts to fade, yet still the spring flowers shine forth in glory. The jasmine is blooming full and the wildflowers along the trail nodded to us as we passed. The flowers were definitely showing their displeasure with the atypically cold weather for April, but I have confidence they shall recover.

Now what complaints can I have with this day? I got a lovely walk and oh so many quality conversations with Dani…on surely one of the finest days of the year. All the trees blazing forth in new sprung green and the cold air reminding us of the blood that runs hot in our cheeks as we feel the smile of God upon us. Now the meatballs are made and in the fridge awaiting cooking later to go with leftover peas and pasta. And I shall soon set aside this laptop and read a bit more as the candle flickers next to me and I see Dani across the way. But thank you for allowing me to indulge in a bit of journaling (been a while since I did that, no?) this lovely Sunday. It is good to remember and praise God for his manifold blessings. Every day they are present. Some days I do better at remembering from whence they come.
