A Glimpse of Normal

I had a good day today despite the pain and discomfort. What made it a great day was that I got to experience a little bit of “normal” for the first time since this disaster began. Sunday night I was blessed to go on a date with Tammy (dinner at Taps). I felt like every other guy in the restaurant trying to impress his date; I felt normal again. Today I got to go to work for a few hours, sit at my desk, and answer some questions other than how do you feel today? I felt like every other working stiff and it felt great! Tonight I got to take my kids to dinner (Mexican food- paying for it now) and listen to my girls bicker back and forth, again, I felt normal! Lord I thank you for normal; I will never take it for granted again.

Lesson- Scripture teaches us to redeem time. Mexican food, my chair at work and date with my gal will never be taken for granted again. These are gifts from God that need to be protected and cherished at all costs.

So what is your normal? What are you taking for granted? No guilt trip here, I’m just encouraging you to start cherishing your “normal”.
