It's not as if us old folks can afford these endings when they come as fast they seem to be coming now. I would hold back the clock if I could or add many more hours to each day just in case I would finish all the tasks I want to accomplish.
Of course, I'm the drawback since a book isn't going to get published if I don's sit down and write. A family life scrapbook or books are not going to be finished if I don't get out the pictures and start organizing the pages to set up - I do have sort of an excuse of no place to leave things out and not a whole lot of room on a smaller dining room table and two TV trays. Still it sounds like excuses to me.
Opening my dark chocolate - Dove - and reading the cute sayings they have inside each one it says "find comfort and joy in chocolate." I will admit that there are days when this would actually work for me. I am an emotional eater and chocolate is definitely my main "go to" yet God forgive me if I actually think or believe for a moment that joy and/or comfort is actually going to come from a sweet bite of yummy chocolate.
Joy especially - not being happy - but true joy within that reaches down to our toes and up through our minds - only one place it can or will ever come from - God, our Abba Father AND Jesus, my beloved.
Comfort is only from above and we know for a fact that the only one who can and does bring it to us is His Holy Spirit, my TRUE COMFORTER.
Let us all look forward during the next week as we head on in to the next year of our old lives to the Lord's blessings and grace sufficient and His presence at all times just keeps on coming as it always has.
