• I just took my first nap in our relatively new house.  'Twas nice, indeed.
  Hopefully I won't regret it too much at bed time.

  We spent the morning distributing food to the needy in our area. We do it twice a month, and then on a third Saturday we help serve the homeless a meal.
  It's great. Truly a privilege.
  I've always wanted the opportunity to care in this tangible way.

  Our girls are on a retreat this weekend. Today they played in the snow,
  which is hard to believe, given that it's 50° outside my window,
  brilliantly sunny, and very green.

  "God is very good to those who trust in Him, and often surprises them with unlooked for blessings....Chance is banished from...faith...[We] see the hand of God in everything. The trivial events of today or tomorrow may involve consequences of the highest importance."
  ~ C. Spurgeon

  "The Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows grace and favor...No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Ps 84:11

  "In quietness and in trusting confidence shall be your strength." Is 30:15

  "My times are in Your hands." Ps 31:15

  "He will be the stability of your times....
  The fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure." Is 33:6

  Oh, God - where would I be without You?

  Here's my oldest son and his wife on their first visit to the Pacific, back in January:

  

  So delightful. I love how the immensity of the ocean imparts perspective.
