ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER
Do you ever wake up and wonder if today would be a repeat of yesterday and the day before? Kind of like Bill Murray in “Groundhog Day.” Our lives become so routine and structured that there doesn’t seem to be room for anything else. I have days like that. As I get older, I have more of them. We become almost mechanical in our movements, in our relationships and the tasks that lay ahead. You begin to feel like a robot. You question your value. You wonder if God still has a plan for your life. One of my favorite Psalms is 139. It proves to each of us, no matter where we are, who we are and what point it is in our journey, we have been created by God for a reason. Take a moment to read it today.
God knows you, inside and out.
He knew what you would be like before you were even born.
He knows where you are at any given moment.
You can’t hide from Him.
To Him, you are a masterpiece, not a mistake.
He watches over you with a protecting love that no one else can give.
He made sure that you would survive in a dark world,
By sending a perfect substitute to be your champion.
He can turn unspeakable deeds into workable solutions.
He fights for you.
You are His child.
He is the perfect Father.
He has already planned your future, and it will be perfect.
He won’t leave you, even when it seems like He isn’t there.
Trust in His amazing love and grace.
He will show you how valuable you are.

Thanks for this thoughtful post. My wife is very energetic and always wants to do, do, do. I retired almost three years ago and I still marvel that I don’t have to go to work and can putter all day long.

It takes a while to not feel guilty for doing nothing when your younger years were filled with so much activity. I’m learning to listen to what my body tells me to do.

Just this morning, I completed a post scheduled to be published in a few weeks which tells the story of how I stupidly ignored what my body was telling me in order to please others.

A beautiful poem and a great reminder, Kathy. I enjoy looking up through the branches of trees and seeing the light shining through the leaves. In the painting, my eye is drawn to the light in the leaves on the branches and in their reflection on the water.

Paul had a knack for chasing the light and making it dance through his work. Thanks for noticing this.

Amen. Paul’s painting reminds me of the eternal nature of our Creator. The more I immerse time with His Word, the blessings of His wisdom lead me in a new adventure. This reinforces His desire for me to sometimes wait with patience when it’s called for.

Patience isn’t easy for me. I find myself wanting immediate answers or solutions rather than being still and knowing that God is in control.
