Ordinary things of life...

"It is ingrained in us that we have to do exceptional things for God - but we do not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things of life, and holy on the ordinary streets, among ordinary people - and this is not learned in five minutes."

- Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

So here is to our ordinary lives. To the quiet moments before we begin our days, reading our Bibles, praying,  laundry, dusting, sweeping, cooking, laughing, crying, driving, resting, shopping, eating, drinking, talking, walking, planning, doing, Sunday Worship Services, mid-week prayer meetings, visiting hospital rooms, visits to the doctors, tests, school,weddings,  grilling, family reunions, swimming, exercise classes, ball games, funerals, book clubs discussions, family visits, hugs, celebrations, times in waiting rooms, quiet nights under a starry night sky... and so goes the list.
