As I experienced yesterday I needed to apologize to God this morning for all of the angst and frustration I exhibited to Him prior to coming here to be with our kids. I kept telling myself I knew we were suppose to come and nothing at home was too important to stop this from taking place. Yet, even though I’d tell myself this, I still fretted. Just being here 1.5 days I began to live out the reasons it was so important to come. My granddaughter’s concert last night was fabulous. We’ve never been able to take part in one of these before last night. I got to meet her fiancé as well as his parents and his sis and her fiancé. They are a great family.

Spending the day yesterday planting all of the plants my daughter and I had purchased the day before was also a joy. She ended up being on jury duty for the day so I just planted them as I thought it would work. Amber said she’d just be glad to have the flower beds and pots with plants dad had done. So now that is the case.

I’m always amazed at the way God uses the time Kathy and I are here away from home to give me another look at Him working. With all of the world events one hears and witnesses each day it is good to get away momentarily and watch how God is working in the lives of others far away from where my perspective has been. God is never idle and His Work is continually being done by His faithful servants around the world. How rewarding it is to witness this and grow one’s own strength in Him. God is the One and Only true GOD!
