I know what you mean about the big disaster, and waiting in dread of it all the time. I can't quite seem to get out from under that shadow many days - even though I have no real reason to fear anything in particular. Just waiting for my turn... Silly, really, but not mine to toss off. He'll have to lift it off me. This reminds me again of my bull in the pasture status, spiritually - working out my confusion about church by spending time in the fields and among real people of all sorts. Posts like yours help it all make sense, and (more importantly) make the blessings seem more obvious, regardless of the rest.Steve Emeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628329561652344403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500753812112751553.post-71734327954186093672008-11-02T17:26:00.000-08:002008-11-02T17:26:00.000-08:00God is good!

And I had an early morning chat with my Lord too, thanking him for my family and my ability to enjoy his created beauty. Then I asked for continued ability to see the good, the true, the virtuous, the beautiful. And to appreciate his hand on all of it. (One of my favorite scriptures -- what to focus on and the peace it brings me. Philippians 4:8,9. It has taught me to learn to see wildflowers in the meadow rather than weeds in a field, and to say thank you for them. )<BR/><BR/>I really enjoy your posts...<BR/>BarbBarb Hartsookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09366566955140927758noreply@blogger.com
