His love endures forever.

I just read psalm 136. It goes like this:
 ¹ Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
 His love endures forever. ² Give thanks to the God of gods.
 His love endures forever. ³ Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
 His love endures forever.


The whole psalm goes along this way. A line about God and then, His love endures forever. 


Yesterday morning, I lingered in bed and skipped my quiet time with the bible.
His love endures forever. 
I made the girls pancakes.
His love endures forever. 
I dropped Isabel off at swim practice, and Lily and I went to Kroger. (Fun, fun, fun.)
His love endures forever. 
Got back a little late. Renee had taken it upon herself to sit with Isabel until I got there.
His love endures forever. 
Got back to the house and spent three joyless hours writing my iVillage post, with the girls interrupting and annoying me.
His love endures forever. 
Lunch and a drive to Steinmart to replace the sunglasses I lost the other day. Isabel complained about her shoes, and having to walk far, and the heat. I thought about how much I love them both, my sweet girls. I am so truly thankful for them. Once inside the store, I went about my business. They were fine.
His love endures forever. 
Playdate with Laurie Abel and her kids at her subdivision pool. I gossiped with her and dissed Lee's mom.  So weak and lame on my part.
His love endures forever. 
Took the girls to McDonalds. Tried to sit patiently and wait while they played in the indoor play place.
His love endures forever. 
Scyped with Mom and Dad, who were disappointed to hear that my participation in the VBS drama skit would prevent me from helping them to pack and move.
His love endures forever. 
Talked to Sara about it on the phone. Fretted about Mom and Dad moving here, and establishing boundaries.
His love endures forever. 
Visited with Melanie next store while the girls played with her boys. Discussed the boundaries issue.
His love endures forever. 
Searched online for a swingset on craigslist. Looking for one with monkey bars, so the girls can work on their upper arm strength. (Maybe this would help Lily with gymnastics?)
His love endures forever. 
Read the girls books until they fell asleep.
His love endures forever. 
Went to bed at 9:30 pm. I love early bedtimes! With Lee gone on a trip to visit his friends, I'm free to sleep, sleep, sleep.
His love endures forever. 
Lily wet the bed. I changed her, and both girls came in my bed with me.
His love endures forever. 
Couldn't go back to sleep, because my neck hurt. Went downstairs and got the neck massager that Dad bought me. Used it for about an hour, then went back to sleep.
His love endures forever. 
Woke up this morning, and here I am.
His love endures forever. 




The difference between what I just wrote and David's psalm: The in-between lines are all about me. His in-between lines are all about God.


Here's my day, today. Can I write it from God's perspective?


I'll watch over her, my precious daughter, as she fixes breakfast for my precious little girls, Isabel and Lily. My love for them endures forever!


I'll be with her while she and my precious ones run errands. I'll prompt her not to speed. I'll follow along with their car, be with them. I'll go along with them to CVS, to Goldberg's bagels, to the library. I'll speak to her through the Justin Roberts songs on the CD in the car. Maybe she'll listen. My love for her endures forever!


I'll be with them at the pool, where they'll run into people I know and love. I'll speak to her through her circumstances, through the book she reads. I'll watch my sweet little ones splash around. Oh, how I love them! I love them even more than she does. My love endures forever.


I'll guide her as she plans for the week ahead. Which play dates should she set up? Who needs some time to talk with her? I'll make room in her schedule to meditate on me. My love endures forever.
