Day 17 – A bed to lay your head

Today’s affirmation:

Today I give with joy

Today was a day of chores. I’ve been neglecting my apartment for a while, it was long overdue some loving. It was night time before I realised I didnt have an opportunity all day to give a gift. I was preparing for my friend Lucy, who was coming over because we had a very early morning planned for tomorrow. We were going on a Hike and Kayak Tour in Nariva Swamp. I’ve never been there before, neither has Lucy.

I needed to find an opportunity to give soon, or I’d be back at Day 1 tomorrow. By the time Lucy got to my spot, I decided what the gift would be. She was gonna have the bed and I’ll sleep on the sofa. It’s a bed too and I wanted to try it anyway.

Coming up with this gift, brought back a lot memories of my childhood, like being forced to take naps and praying before we went to bed. I couldnt believe that after all these years I still remember the first prayer my mother taught me:

Gentle Jesus,and mild meek, look upon this little child, pity my simplicity, suffer me to come to thee.

I’m thinking about my mother a lot, I can find a memory in everything. Time for bed. Turns out the sofa bed is quite comfy!
