This is the day...

Despite being a day of plenty and goodness I feel a disquiet in my spirit. The wet weather and inactivity, TV, DVDs, the newspaper, grocery shopping and managing the children makes my head crowded and dissonant. I often feel this way. The day is near-ended without thinking to look or listen for a flutter of the Kingdom. Caught up in the busy-ness and trying to survive the day I realise I haven’t been alert to God’s involvement at all. Although I have no flutters to report I will scan the environment for the words to a song of praise. Whether through a scent that provokes a chain of thoughts, the rhythm of the window wipers or the title of a book I shall be alert.
