Observations

 

My Adonai, in the past few weeks (months?), I remember talking to You about seeing You in the daily experiences of life.  Today I believe I have an observation from You: I feel better when I don't listen to the news, when I focus on accomplishing concrete and specific tasks on my list, and when I indulge in some reading/listening to books, songs, and other artistic endeavors.  I also feel better when I write here in this journal/blog.  The secrets of my heart!  Not even my DH would be entrusted with them!

Speaking of my DH, he seems shaken by his deferral from blood donation for irregular bradycardia.  Abba, he takes such pride in being strong and healthy, as he measures it by the number on a scale.  (He can be somewhat judgmental about overweight people, and he tries to blame most medical problems on failures of diet.)  Please reassure him.  His life, like mine, is in Your hands.

Today is a beautiful day suited to early Fall, even though it is moving toward the end of October.  Climate change!  You are on the move, and the climate is only one of the early indicators, but there are others and they need to turn our eyes to You.  I am looking, Father.  Let me observe.

I love You.  Amen.
