Yesterday was quite an experience. I saw the Queen, you know, like the Queen of England!
She came to visit Llandaff Cathedral, just a few minutes down the road from my house. I got to see her drive into Llandaff Village, and I was right there in front, she was just about 5 feet away from me in her car with Prince Philip. To be honest, it felt kind of surreal, almost fake. Then, I got to see her drive back out of town. I never thought that someday I would be able to say I've seen the Queen.
Last night I was journaling and just telling Jesus about my day, in some ways that almost seems silly because He knows everything that's happened, but I think He likes us to spend time with Him that way. I'd do the same if I came home to my family or friends, so why not Jesus?... As I was telling Him about my day, the thought occurred to me, what was His day like? Does Jesus have good or bad days? He feels our pain and joy, but when there's 6 billion people on the planet, how can He "feel" with all of us at once? And, since He really exists outside of time, does a day even make sense in His life?.... Honestly, I didn't come to any conclusions last night, I just thought it was interesting and that I would share it.
Something else occurred to me... Seeing the Queen was a big deal yesterday, there were ton's of people in the quaint little village to see her come in. There were flags and banners, kids shouting, and a tangible atmosphere or excitement in the air. When she came everyone started shouting and leaning in to get a better photo, I had no shame in leaning in as far as I could!... All of this for the Queen, which is well due I believe...But. What about Jesus? Do we make a big deal about meeting with Him? We have access to Him 24/7, and He's done a lot more than the Queen ever has or will do. Do we get excited about time with Jesus? Do I?... Sadly, for myself anyways, I see it as a duty more than a privilege all too much. I have to have my "Jesus" time. Go through my prayer list, read a few chapters, or something similar. I want my time with Jesus to be a celebration, something worth shouting about, because it is!
These are my thoughts for the day...
What would a day in the life of Jesus look like?
And.
