Right now I'm doing Beth Moore's Daniel Bible study. This chunk of Scripture I'm memorizing this month comes from that. Daniel prayed that God would reveal the king's dream and its meaning. When He did, Daniel praised Him. I love how Daniel says at the beginning that God has wisdom and power, and at the end God has given him wisdom and power. I need to have a habit of praying, expecting an answer, and praising when He does. He alone has the wisdom and power that I need.
Daniel 2:19b-23
Then Daniel praised the God of heaven and said:
"Praise be to the Name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are His.
He changes times and seasons;
He sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
He reveals deep and hidden things;
He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.
I thank and praise You, O God of my fathers:
You have given me wisdom and power,
You have made known to me what we asked of You,
You have made known to us the dream of the king."
NIV

Bonus Day
Yesterday we were scheduled to accompany SweetDoll and her class on a field trip. However, about the time we were to leave, it was snowing huge beautiful flakes. Even though it was not supposed to get serious, I agreed with her teacher's decision to postpone the trip. Sure enough it was all melted by the time the kids got home from school, but this is the Panhandle and you just never know! Next week we'll try again.
I had a blank to do list and a whole day...what's a girl to do? BONUS DAY! I did get some work done that desperately needed attention. I helped the kids clean their rooms...I'm sure that "bonus" will be reflected on my paycheck. *grin* Then I picked up the guitar that the kids got for Christmas. I have always wanted to play and even took lessons in elementary school but I didn't stay with it. I probably quit just before I reached the part that I really wanted to know. I realized that yesterday as I was going through the lessons. The light bulb came on...OH! That is why you start there! But now I understand music a little bit more and hopefully it will sink into my brain better and I'll stick with it. So I practiced until my fingertips could not do it any more. I'm still feeling it this morning as I type! But it was fun! It was good to try something new.
Today I'm back to the usual laundry, but I might pick up the guitar and practice a bit. I cut my fingernails. I might as well! ;)
How about you...tried anything new lately? What would you do on a Bonus Day?
