Read Psalm 8.*
What joy it
brings to my soul when someone says that she/he has been thinking of me! Sometimes I wonder how “little ole me” could
be taking up space in the mind of anyone. The really good news is that we can all be assured our awesome God always
has us on His mind. Isn’t that an
amazing thought?
Psalm 8 reminds us that
not only is God mindful of us, but He also has honored us with glory and made
us caregivers of His beautiful creations.
In our role as caregivers, I feel that God is calling each of us to make
more space in our minds to think of and care for others. In our busy lives, we can sometimes forget
that caring for each other and our world is not just desired, but expected of
us. I will admit that I am often guilty
of falling asleep without having said my prayers or written in my thankful
journal. I need to do better! Maybe you would like to join me in trying
harder to make sure my time for God and others doesn’t disappear in those
hectic times of life.
Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Just as you
are ever mindful of us, help us to be mindful of each other. Help us to share your never-ending love by
our thoughts, words, and actions. May we
be good caregivers of all of your creations. Thank you for all our many blessings!! Amen
*In your
quiet time, you may want to listen to Tom Fettke’s beautiful choral arrangement
of Psalm 8, “The Majesty and Glory of Your Name.” (There are many options on
YouTube.) You will be blessed!
