Possible: Five Minute Friday

 What is possible for me today? The word "possible" means "able to be done; within the power or capacity of someone or something" What is within my capacity to do today?  This is part of the secret of contentment and peace. What is possible for me, for today, with the time, people and gifts I have? Recognizing what is possible for me also brings thanksgiving because it is not possible for many others.

It is possible that:

I will start our school day (soon) with reading the Bible and practicing a memory verse. This is not possible in many other countries.

I will do math and writing and spelling with my 10 year old. We will sit on the couch while I read Justin Morgan Had a Horse and share a smile over Marguerite Henry's ability to paint pictures with words. Not everyone has this possibility.

I will meet two friends for lunch, share our joys and struggles, and laugh a lot. Many do not have friends or the ability to drive or pay for a lunch out.

I will work this afternoon for a wonderful company, with co-workers who inspire me to love our customers well and serve them with joy.

Today's possibilities are good.
