A Good Tiredness and End of Week Psalm

 i got the seat of honor

next to my youngest grandchild

in the backseat

of my mountaineer

son-in-law drove

daughter rode shot-gun

and

grandma had precious minutes

with the little man

jabbering

then distinctly identifying

certain animals

the sounds they make

his nose, eyes, and so on

grandma and grandson giggled

and basked in each other's company

then it was time for daddy

to strap little man

in his stroller

we had arrived at the airport

the time for goodbyes had come



grandma got in the driver's seat

and drove away

they boarded a plane

and flew back to texas

i braved the afternoon crowds at several stores

the most important

whole foods

my pain level is screaming

"eat better!"

i arrived home at 10 pm

left that morning (friday)

at 9:15 am

looooong day

it's 5pm

saturday

pj's are still my attire

i finished a new 7-day only check-out

library book

watched the ohio state/michigan game

our team won

now i'm at the computer

remembering my weekly psalm post

am tired

but it's an extremely 'good' tired

hope your weekend is turning out well

and that if you're tired

it's a good tired

Psalm 62

To the Chief Musician; according to Jeduthun

[Ethan, the noted musician, founder of an official musical family]

A Psalm of David.

1) For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation.

2)He only is my Rock and my Salvation, my Defense and my Fortress,

I shall not be greatly moved.

3)How long will you set upon a man that you may slay him, all of you,

like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4)They only consult to cast him down from his height [to dishonor him];

they delight in lies.

They bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly.

Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

5) My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him;

for my hope and expectation are from Him.

6) He only is my Rock and my Salvation;

He is my Defense and my Fortress,

I shall not be moved.

7) With God rests my salvation an my glory;

He is my Rock of unyielding strength and impenetrable hardness,

and my refuge is in God!

8) Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times,

you people; pour out your hearts before Him.]

God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower).

Selah

9) Men of low degree are emptiness

and men of high degree are a lie and a delusion.

In the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.

10) Trust not in and rely confidently not on extortion and oppression,

and do not vainly hope in robbery;

if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

11) God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God.

12) Also to You, O Lord, belong mercy and loving kindness,

 for You render to every man according to his work.

Thursday late afternoon, after being with his sisters and aunt

for his family's Thanksgiving dinner

our eyes are saying

"Nap, please!"
