Today was going to be a leisurely type of day where I sat around in my pajamas with the luxury of not having to rush here nor there.  I could actually take it easy today and relax!   I vowed to take full advantage of this!

I propped my feet up in my old recliner and settled in with my little two pound Teacup Yorkie in my lap.  Music always inspires and moves me, so I “shuffled” my i-Pod tunes, determined to breathe in all of the goodness of the day that the Lord has given to us and breathe out all of the stresses and anxieties.

Several “feel good” types of songs began playing, and I could feel the stress leaving my body.  I was unwinding, enjoying, and smiling while humming along.  Then all of a sudden, an old familiar song began playing.  This song is one that I’ve had the privilege of singing in church with the choir but also practicing as a duet with a family member.   As the instrumental performance track ushered in God’s perfect peace, I began to raise my voice in praise to God above.  Before I really thought about what was happening, I was singing praises to God allowing His presence to come completely and fully into the room, my home, and envelop me as He wrapped me in His love.

The Potter’s Hand

It begins so soft and sweet with the waves of gentleness flowing out of the speakers and engulfing the entire room.  Feeling God’s hand upon my life, I began to surrender myself to Him, allowing Him to take over.  Praise poured from me as I sang to an audience of One … my God.

The Potter’s Hand
