Finding their spot

Most of the time when I feed Boots and Hattie, it goes pretty smoothly.In the warmer months, outside at the picnic table, in the winter, in the garage or igloo.Sometimes though,it's a battle. Today Hattie didn't want to eat at the table,or on the bench, but he wanted to lay in the grass and eat. He gets like that sometimes. He has to find his spot.The Lord has work for me to do. I have to find my spot for Him. It doesn't have to be some far off mission field,or spectacular ministry. It may just be right where I am, where people are.My spot is EVERYWHERE.Lord, help me to be alert, ready and willing to minister.As long as I stay close to You in my spot, I WILL be ready.

Maybe,they really were good!

ABBA wasn't a big sucess in the US. They only had 1 number one song here,as opposed to 10 or so in the UK,and 19 in Austrailia.Other countries as well really embraced their music. Not so here. Now the musical Mamma Mia,based on ABBA's songs,hit the big screen and made around 125 million dollars here, after the stage version made more than that. Plus a cd of ABBA was re released to coincide with the movie opening.After 16 years(it was first out in 1992) ,the cd DEBUTED at #1 and has now sold 27 million units. I can hear people saying,"looking back, maybe they really were good".People are realizing just how good ABBA was and is.That got me thinking about God.I pray people will stop and look back and realize how good God is. When I look back at my life,the paths that I've travelled,the ups and the downs, I don't say,"maybe He really is good". I say THANK YOU LORD that you ARE good, and thanks for being so good to me.
