Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh oh oh my soul
Worship His holy name.
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship His holy name.
I will worship His holy name.
I didn't cheat today :)
I waited until after midnight to look at today's word.
But I did see those pretty flowers with the rocks the evening before, and I thought to myself, 'hmmm... that would make a great photo, but the light isn't right, I'll take a photo of them on my way home in the morning when the sun is rising. Maybe there will be a word in the next 20 days of the challenge that it will be perfect for.'
The word is "Bless". Again the first thing to pop into my head was a song and I sang it all night as I was working. That song kept me sane, it was busy and there was no time for a break. I took the photo right before getting home, but my brain didn't put any of it together. Then I decided, like a crazy woman, to stay up and go for a walk with my sister. Who cares that I've only had 2.5 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours, not going to waste the day, and I really need to start excercising regularly.
As I'm walking (barely) and trying to keep up with my niece's puppy who wasn't very thrilled about having to be on a leash, I guess my brain was working on connecting the song, and the photo, and the word,...oh my!
Just pieces of a Bible verse come to mind. Something about if the people are quiet the stones would cry out... I can't quite say that the word bless in in whatever scripture this is but somehow I think it's all connected. Gotta love that Holy Spirit chiming in just when you need it ;)
When I finally get home after a couple of power naps on my sister's couch and in her car between walking, couponing, eating lunch and just hanging out, I look up the words "rocks cry out", an lo and behold...
Bada bing, bada boom! ...the rest, is history.

When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” Luke 19:37-40
Both the beautiful flowers and the rocks you stumble on can be blessings.
