Can It Be. . .

It’s 9:o9am, it’s still dark outside, it’s cold, it’s windy, it’s raining, and it’s not going to change much during the day. Suffice it to say this is not my favorite type of day. I have work to do out there, and those conditions are not conducive to my willingness to be about it. It’s easy to feel that life is not as rich and full when the sky is dark and the cold wind bites. I alternate between looking out the windows from my dining table (no dining going on) and hitting the right keys on my laptop.  I am missing the right ones regularly, and I am missing warm sunshine.

So, I choose  to write about some good things. Actually, some incredibly good  things. I have not lost my part-time, retirement job. They will be looking for me at Bible Study tonight, and will listen eagerly to my exposition of 2 Peter. God is good to allow my mind to grasp Truth from those words and share them with others, even though the “grasping” seems more difficult these days. My brother (in Christ) is just out of the hospital where he went with some serious  problems, and he is doing well. “Hang in there Elsie.” I am enjoying the opportunity to do some Marriage Counseling with friends. Designer Marriage (an excellent tool) is helping them reinvigorate their relationship. My Bride is still the greatest cook on Earth, I am lloved by more than a few people, my two running partners still let me tag along, and my Physician is satisfied with my health. I have enough resources to live in this crazy economy, and we get a fresh opportunity to vote for what we want before too long. My old car still  gets me where I am going, and my roof doesn’t leak.

Hey, I am starting to feel better about today. My bride asked me to check the forecast for the rest of the month because the grand kids are coming in a couple of weeks and I am. . .shall we say. . .eager for their appearance. All my boys ( 4 sons, 5 grandsons), and that one precious little granddaughter, will be here for Thanksgiving. God is so good to me, still uses me, lloves me without reserve, and gives me the beauty of this World and the assurance of the next.

Well, I will stop here. I have other things to do, and I am suddenly excited to be about them.
