Day 227: Instructions

I'm grateful for instructions because without them I would be at a loss about a whole bunch of things! Instructions have been a lifesaver when assembling furniture, neither the hub or I have the instincts to put things together without some instructions.  Instructions have been super helpful when installing electronic things.  Recipes are instructions and I'm not creative enough to just cook, I need a recipe and then can rock it.  Pretty much my life is surrounded by instructions and I'm so grateful!  The most important instructions in my life, however, are those of God's word.  Without his instructions I am at a complete loss.  Floundering is an understatement if his instructions weren't part of my life and available to give me direction and foundation. His instructions in the Old Testament that shaped the further instructions in the New Testament give me abundant life.  (Btw, did you know that the word "law" for the Torah and OT passages is a bad translation? The more accurate translation is "instructions".  Kinda changes things when that word is the one used to read the OT, you might want to try it!)  What kind of instructions have you been grateful for?

And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa
