Sixteen Saturday Selections...
It's a sunny Saturday here in rural Cavan, Ontario. I'm in too much pain to do much other than write about what I enjoy doing on Saturdays. Here are sixteen (16) things that make Saturdays special (well, today at least):
- Sleeping in
- Seeking out good garage sales
- Sitting quietly in my adirondack chair down by the creek
- Stating that the Senators better win the game against New Jersey tonight
- Saying "hi" to Syd Birrell when he dropped off his son Ben at our place...to play with the boys
- Scooting down to Port Hope to see a doctor about my sciatica which is driving me crazy
- Sadly thinking back on the Raptors' exit from the playoffs last night
- Searching the scriptures for some meat to fit around the skeleton outline I have for Sunday morning's communion devotional at Auburn Bible Chapel
- Seeing what Tim Challies posted on his blog today
- Sitting on John Deere and cutting the grass, hoping that the vibrations will massage my sciatica and not irritate it
- Savoring my Tim Horton's coffee that I bought in Port Hope
- Sorrowing over Buffalo's come-from-behind win over the Rangers last night
- Seeing the excitement in my sons' faces when they caught a little fish in the creek
- Stewing over the fact that the Blue Jays are losing more than they're winning
- Standing up and feeling no pain...hopefully
- Starting to see the buds coming out on the apple trees in the back yard
Enjoy your Saturday and prepare your heart to worship the Lord tomorrow!
There really are very few things that are more relaxing than a cup of Tim Horton's coffee on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteAnd now you can celebrate the fact that #4 came true! I am only JUST getting my voice back from Wednesday's game, but it was worth it! I was cheering extra-loudly for "Little Fish" right before his goal, so I would like to think I deserve some of the credit for it- haha!
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday (I hope you feel better soon), and have a blessed Lord's Day!

ReplyDeleteMr. Fisher-- I pray you feel better! Even as young as I am in my early-twenties, I have still had some pretty painful days in my life. Now, as often as I remember, I thank God that I don't have any pain (when applicable), and that I have life and breath. I almost lost the latter in an allergic reaction, and it was then that I realized how precious life really is.
