You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins;
You will show faithfulness to Jacob,
and grace to Abraham,
As you have sworn to our fathers
from days of old.

Micah 7:19-20

We are usually pretty good at judging ourselves.  Should have, would have, could have, meant to... Those are all phrases that we lean on when we aren't right with whatever action we chose to take.  How about instead, what if we took a look back on our day or even better, sat down for a moment during the day, and evaluated ourselves and what we are doing.  If that sounds simple, it isn't always simple for me.  I think about the past and worry about the future and if I'm not careful I miss what's happening all around me!

Saturdays have become "chore days" or "honey do that list" days, and if we have children, the day can be spent on a field or driving around the kids to their activities.  Let's spend some time today remembering the greatness and the magnificence of God and the mercy He has for us.  If you can take a moment try to find that "bird's eye" view the sky and clouds or take note of the wind of sun and shade.  God's natural earth invites us all to explore its mysteries and then we may discover that those would haves and should haves are already in the past and the present is where we need to be, praying that God will "cast into the depths of the sea" our transgressions.
