Well here we are 5 days later .... it's getting deeper by the day, sometimes by the hour. The Word tells us to gives thanks in all things .... I have much to be thankful for during the depths of winter and I choose to turn my attention toward the blessings and mercies of God which are new every morning. I was able to get up on my own, shovel the driveway again on my own, feed myself, read the Word, meet and greet on Facebook, email, and now the Blogspot! I have a wonderful family both natural and spiritual. I have the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ and I'm ready to leave this world when He calls me. There's food in the refrig and cabinets, clothes that keep me warm, utilities that are on, bills paid, and much, much more ... to include peace of mind. This is not a crisis that is without closure and it doesn't determine my value or purpose .... I am loved by God, family, and devoted friends.
Retirement is growing on me, both the good things and the challenges, but still I find it a blessing. In due course there may be a job for me somewhere part time, and full time if God so directs, but at the moment I am blessed to have time that has been offered by leaving a job of 20 years. I left on good terms and have no regrets or broken relationships (that I'm aware of).
God is good, all the time and He's drawing me to a closer walk with Him each moment I live. I want to close this by saying, what a friend I have in Jesus and His promises never fail (unlike the government). He is my provider, my salvation, my healer, my banner of love .... and ... He's coming again, .. soon!
