Alice's Restaurant ~ Dishin' Up Food for Thought: Welcome to Wacky Wednesday as the picture says!!

In honor of my friends, Froggy Mommy and Froggy Donna

Good morning all!!!

Don't know how Wacky today will be

but wishing each of a great day!!!

Had a very slow start to my morning. The alarm went off at 6:00 and I finally sat up and got moving about 6:10 a.m. It is very quiet out this morning, have only heard one bird and it is like he is saying "Hey, hey, hey" like trying to get someone's attention and no one is listening.

Isn't it amazing how God uses our surroundings

to meet us right where we are at.

Psalm 130:1-6 was the scripture for this morning (NIV)

A song of ascents.

¹Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
² Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.

³If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
⁴But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can,

with reverence, serve you.

⁵I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,

and in his word I put my hope.
⁶I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Psalm 130:1-6 by Ali Workentin

Crying out to the Lord

Begging Him to hear my voice

It seems forever before I hear from Him

But wait, if I am patient God will respond

I just need to be still, just be and

God will answer in His timing not mine.

Reflecting about a time in the past where I was constantly busy, never sitting still

Being encouraged to BE, JUST BE

And I am so thankful for a pastor, a counselor and many friends who encouraged me, loved on me, sat with me while I cried, prayed with me and encouraged me to WAIT it (the feelings, the anxiety, the angst) out.

Who taught me to
