I love what I get to do...

Have you ever had one of those days that just felt "right"? I am not talking about a stress-free day, or even a day free of frantic activity. But one of those days during which you just felt so totally fulfilled in what God has gifted you to do?

Today has been one of those days.

Oh, I still have to put the finishing thoughts on the sermon I am preparing for this Sunday...and it's still hard for my mind to conceive the height, depth and breadth of a love that would compel the Father to so joyfully and so willingly give the utterly beautiful, totally unique, incomprehensibly precious Son of God...and what's more, that I have the task of attempting to put that into words that are coherent enough for another person to understand with all that has welled up within my heart.

And, I still have to somehow find the time to clean up the garage and come up with a plan to mulch the flowerbeds...

and get my taxes done...

and be both a great husband and dad...

and countless other important things.

But for the moment, I am overwhelmed by the love of a God that would allow me to get to do what I do (even though the sum of my life is just a grain of sand in the space of eternity) and the grace of a God which gives me margin to be in the process of becoming more like Him.

I love what I get to do...have I said that lately?
