145 A Stressful Task (Num 28)

I was so totally stressed at lunchtime today.
I had been placed in a situation totally new and totally foreign to me.
I needed to make decisions quickly.
Important decisions.
I had limited information and a tight deadline.
My stress levels were impairing my judgment and I kept flip flopping on the decisions I had already made.
It was doing my head in.
Finally.
After lengthy deliberations and some heartache.
I emerged satisfied with the outcome.
I could breathe.
I relaxed.
I had just finalised my first AFL Dream team selection.
Golly that was a task.

Numbers 28
Each day begins and ends with a sacrifice to God.
Another way of reminding the people of Him, His promises and what He has already done.
A pleasant sacrifice.
A sweetness.
Good memories.
Good thoughts.
Hope for the day ahead.
Thanks for the day gone.
And hope for tomorrow.
And a recognition of God being on top of things.
A celebration of freedom.
For a new generation, a real reminder of things experienced by their parents.
A reminder not to forgot from the lessons already learned.
Hard lessons.
And a sight of God's grace.
His love in their redemption from slavery.
And a chance at independence and a place to call home.
