Blurg! Heavy, low, overcast, a night that should have been cooler but was not to be. A morning not comfortable for walking. A night that will go down in history as too muggy and... Yeah, sounds very melodramatic, but in a few days or probably much less, I will have forgotten. Weather comes and it goes and little of it is remembered for long. The perfect day or night has not arrived, and all the imperfect ones in memory get archived and never recalled. For most of us only the extremes of weather and work days are easy to recall. Without some difference in a day, I would be hard pressed to separate one day of last week from another, or even from the week before. Yet, looking back through life, we often find a heap of tragedies that do stand out.
It is those days that help us learn contentment in the present. A perilous situation on this day would indeed cause it to stand out from the many others in life. Abounding excitement, adventure, and a goodly dose of life or death fear will really shake up the day. Thanks to experience, I am content to live this day peacefully in the love of Christ. Younger folks with less experience can wish for that exciting day. They too will enjoy the love of Christ, but may not realize it in the rush of the moments. I am content to do my work and take the time to note well the love of Christ for me and you.
If we don't take the time to notice God's work in us and all around us, we may miss something quite wonderful.
Have a patient day in Christ!Bucky
