Jan. 30) I really don’t know what to write this morning — my mind is a blank blackboard. I’m sure there are many words I need to say but they are not coming to my mind as I struggle to get this morning going.
Yesterday was a beautiful clear day — such a contrast to the day before. Sunday I woke up and there was a heavy fog that hung on until around lunchtime. Many days my mind feels overwhelmed like a heavy fog hanging over it. Those days it’s really hard to get going, but with the primary help of my Heavenly Father I press on, believing the next day will be better.
I’m really looking forward to those warm spring days that have got to be not too long off. The beautiful redbirds have keep me company and give me much pleasure. I’ve been feeding them in front of the new window and it has been unbelievable the number of redbirds that I have been able to see. They really brighten the day.
Yesterday afternoon as I looked out the back kitchen window my mind was brought attention to all the tall dead trees that loomed over the landscape and I thought they looked so unsightly but they are of worth too.
The roots that are all under the ground help support and hold up all the roots of the young trees that are sprouting and growing a foundation — just as we older people are to help hold up, support and help the younger generation to stand firm and thrive and keep on growing.
Maybe that’s our whole purpose for being on this earth.
Hope you all have a great day and week ahead, and keep being rooted where you are planted and stand true and firm. There is a purpose for being where you are although we may not be able to see it.
My verse for today is from Psalms: “If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea: even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
Until next time — I love you.
