What is your favorite day of the year?

For me, it’s the first day of Daylight Savings Time, year after year!!!!  The notion of experiencing LONGER EVENINGS of daylight for the next several months is invigorating to my soul …. !!!!!

So, today is my favorite day of the year!!!

Irene had a relatively good day.  She and JoAnna were able to spend more time together before we ushered JoAnna back to SJC for her flight to Ontario.  Irene is fatigued and nauseated, but she was able to get several things done around the house and enjoyed being outside in the garden for part of the afternoon …. and she loved the longer evening with sunlight!!!

We’ve got a trip to UCSF coming up this Thursday which includes a consultation with the vascular surgical team for replacement of Irene’s “Tesio” (currently the port in her chest) with a more permanent dialysis port referred to as a fistula.  The fistula will be in her arm and will not be functional for about three months following the procedure. This allows time for the vein and artery to graft together.  It appears that the fistula procedure is necessary because the “Tesio” has a “crimp” in its line and won’t last forever.  UCSF will probably recommend a date for the procedure when we meet with them on Thursday.

Easter is in two weeks and some people might be surprised to learn that Easter is not my favorite day of the year.  And so, you ask, why isn’t it?  It’s because, in my humble opinion, we should celebrate Easter and Christmas, EVERY DAY of the year.  We should celebrate Christ’s birth, death and resurrection everyday.  We should celebrate and worship the source of our breath, the source of our purpose and the source of our eternal security 24/7.  According to Jesus, He should remain first in all that we do.

Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness ….
Matthew 6:33a

Every day of LIFE is more than we deserve.  Consider this …. whether your favorite day of the year is this one or not, and whether or not we have long or short evenings, He should be first in our lives and is worthy of our worship!!!
