Enjoying the day

There is something to be said for just sitting and enjoying a quiet day alone.
I got to watch whatever I wanted, or not.
I could eat when I wanted, or not.
I could read if I wanted, or not.
I could play on the computer, or not.
So I spent the day in various pursuits. Read the Bible some, did some word search puzzles, finished reading a book. Watched HGTV.
Haven't decided if that is an evil channel or not. Love the suggestions for redoing one's space. I need some ideas for mine. But there are so many people spending so much money! I know they earned it and should be allowed to spend it however they want, but wow ... a second home in the Florida Keys that will cost $1.5 million! Holy cow!
I realized I lust after some of that stuff. I would love to have a home on the islands that for the most part is open air. They are beautiful properties. But I think at some point I would see that such extravagance is not really a good idea. At least I hope I would think that.
I have had a plan in mind for a long time now that involves me owning a lot of property on the mountains by a lake. I would love to have five cabins - one for me and one for each of my kids. We five could decorate our abode to our individual tastes. They would come to visit and have ready-made accommodations. But when they were not there, the place would be open for pastors and their families and missionaries and their families to come apart and rest. Get ready for the next journey God is sending them on. I would love to have a building for meetings and meals so retreats could be held there. A small chapel is a recent addition in my mind. Not to replace going to church, but sometimes we just need to find ourselves in a sanctuary at an alter prone before our Lord.
I don't think that is extravagant. I could write there and attend to the needs of others. Be a servant to the servants of God. Sounds pretty sweet to me.
So what is your dream? Does it honor God? Are you satisfied if it never comes to fruition? Can you leave it with the Maker of all dreams? Does it match His dream for your life?
