Yesterday was an odd day for me.  When I typically come back from being gone I am usually so glad to be home and spend endless hours getting yard, work, etc. caught up.  Even though I did this yesterday, my mind and emotions were still back in California with my sis.  I had called her in the afternoon.  She was actually doing fairly well and talked about the steps she was taking to move forward getting things done she wanted to do before going back to her job.  I was glad to hear all of that but I longed to be back with her.  I haven’t known those kind of feelings like I do now.  I don’t think it’s just because I’m “getting old” that I now find them.  I do believe I’ve always had them but now I allow myself to feel emotions instead of just show them at a moment.

Today is a new day and I want to step into it now being fully home.  I have watched my wife over the years take a day or two to “return home” when we go someplace she enjoys.  I know she is very connected to the emotions of life.  I think this may be what has finally connected for me.  We will have to take a minute and talk about this.  It is odd to be old but feel new all at the same time but growing into the new creation God has made is like this.  I’ll probably have more moments as the days move forward.  I’ll keep you informed.  God is so good and faithful making us into the “good and faithful servant” He created us to be.
