Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 151

Today's Daily 5:
(an introduction to the Daily 5 is available in the left sidebar)

1. Having my post "Thirteen Days In" show up here in the #OneWord2011 daily paper for today
2. my passport came in the mail today.  I like the possibility that having a passport symbolizes.  I feel like I have some sort of freedom if I have a valid one sitting in a drawer or lock box.  Not that I can afford a plane ticket, but having a passport offers the possibility of travel.
3. Choosing to laugh at my transit commute today, which contained some truly horrible people experiences in both directions.
4. Vietnamese take out
5. Finding a few little reasons to laugh or smile, despite a day that was actually pretty hard.
6. Making it to a total of at least five items today

Healer

After declaring that my one little word for 2011 was going to be Heal, and then admitting late Wednesday night that that word hasn't looked anything like what I thought it might, I had to smile when I woke up Thursday morning and discovered this daily text from the Moravians in my email inbox:

Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power. Psalm 21:13

When Jesus laid his hands on her, immediately she stood up straight and began praising God. Luke 13:13

We rise this day to praise you as healer and Lord! By your power, mercy, and strength we can rise this day to new life. In Jesus' name. Amen.

God's timing makes me laugh.  And laugh I did at this reminder that it is He who is the Healer coming at so timely a moment.
