First Week of the New Year and Already Falling Behind

How is your new year going? Doing all the things you’re supposed to be doing? If so, you’re well ahead of me. For instance, my life has been so busy with Christmas, the last family member arriving on the 30^th from his home in Austin. He proceeded to become sick and stayed sick his entire visit. We took him to the local clinic on the 2^nd. Viral. No test was positive and they covered every major illness out there. Took him to the airport yesterday to travel to MD for a convention.

I came home and cleaned his room top to bottom and sprayed down the entire space with good old Lysol. I was in bed by 8 p.m. Lights out no later than 9. Exhausted doesn’t begin to describe it.

FORGETFUL ME!

As a result, I forgot to write my weekly blog post. I know, I know. If I wrote them ahead of time that wouldn’t be a problem. However, that isn’t how I’m wired. I generally write about current things or something I’ve heard, or our weekly sermon. But this week, nothing. I didn’t even think about writing. I was more concerned about sending off a still-sick son to fly to a strange-to-him state where he would be around many people.

No worries. If he were contagious, his dad, his brothers, and I would all be sick and not one of us is. Thank you, Abba!

So here I am, a bit late and trying to figure out what to write about. My mind is blank, and my body is rebelling at being in a sitting position. It’s tired. I’m tired. My brain is tired. I guess that comes with being well into my 7^th decade of life.

So, this one is short. Aren’t you happy about that? I can be quite wordy, I know. This week, the Christmas break for all of us is catching up with me.

LAGGING BEHIND

Usually by this time, we’d be well into day 8 of our yearly reading through our Bibles. Not this year. Too many things on my mind. Too busy trying to take care of lots of people in and out of our home. And on top of that, some health issues that required a change of meds and I’m not so sure my body is appreciating the change. Is that one reason I feel so tired? Maybe.

As I write this, the said son who was sick and left yesterday is on his way to the convention hall. I assured him he likely isn’t contagious at this point. A good week later. Bless him. He still isn’t 100% but he’s better.

So, this is my blog today. I didn’t say much. If it sounds like complaints, mostly about being tired, I’m so sorry . I’m happy and blessed to be here for another year, tired though I may be. I pray your year will overflow with blessings for good health, happiness, and a closer relationship with Jesus.

If you don’t know Him. Go read the Gospel of John followed by the book of Romans. Then begin at the beginning and read your entire Bible, Genesis to the Book of The Revelation. One complete story, start to finish. You will be glad you did. It can change your life and your Eternity.

 

Blessings, y’all!

I feel this. Every word. I pray it blesses you. Thank you for being faithful readers of my meager offerings. I love each one of you!
