In the Calm of Reflection, Life is Really Good
In the Calm of Reflection, Life is Really Good
It was the end of a longer day at work.
Supper was whatever you can heat up”.
My wife was worn thin with preparation for the AWANA club startup.
My son, my right arm, was off to camp, so garbage needed to be done.
My oldest was still not done with school work, but wanted to go to a friend's overnight.
And the kitchen sink was leaking again, a lot.
In the midst of life we get to make some choices.
As I lay with my head under the sink water dripping in my face,
I realized that it was a pretty good day.
Work is a good thing to have too much of in these economic times.
Food was warmed, but it is still plentiful in our home and garden.
My wife is an amazing woman who loves the Lord and me.
My son is beginning to show signs of being quite the young man.
My daughter has made good choices in her friends, which is comforting.
And the ole’ place we now call home allows me to stretch my talents in home maintenance”.
Father, never let me see the loss in a day, only the gain of the blessings poured out from overflowing storehouses.
You are a good and loving God. Amen
