A Near Perfect Day

What does a perfect day in a fallen world look like? Tuesday wasn't perfect, but it was really close. As usual on Tuesday, the staff gathers on Tuesday mornings--this Tuesday was a business meeting. Were that everyone's business meetings centered around God's glory. John read a letter from a couple we know in Kenya who are serving the people traumatized and displaced by the civil unrest there then we spent the rest of the time dreaming together about our first upcoming national gathering of Perspectives Instructors and Coordinators. After the meeting, I met at Arsega's Coffee Shop with one of the wives to talk about memorizing Scripture and hear about the amazing network of Fayetteville people who love International students. While we ate a dinner, immediately ready because I had already cooked it, we agreed that it was an ordinary day but one you just sensed nothing was going to go wrong. UPS had delivered two packages we had ordered, both questionable. The first was a replacement part for the carpet cleaner--fit perfectly. The second was a Playstation 2 game we bought Lyle from eBay, described as not working--worked perfectly. After that, I was off to a meeting of New Heights women gathering to talk about and sample healthy food and to talk, talk, talk--"perfect" ending to a "perfect" day. Thank you, Ruler of Heaven and Earth, for the pledge of future truly perfect days with You--every day for all of eternity.
