Tomorrow is November

How quickly October has gone!  We've been in our rental home for 1 1/2 months.  What a dream place, right here on the lake.  I've always wanted to live where I could see water-I find it brings me into a state of stillness where time holds still.  It helps me poinder things of the heart.  Right in front of me every day is a reminder of God's creative power, and I realize that all I can see is the overview--I can't see all the minute details of each animal, the water ecosystem, the tiny creatures in the water that are out of view.  My God--a God of massive creative power and yet brilliantly plotting out each balancing speck of nature so that it fits together and works perfectly!  Right now the ducks are swimming by in the dozens.  The geese?  Well, they aren't welcome on the lawn as they would eat it to nubbins!  So, we chase them off from time to time and get the "goo poo" off the deck.  

Life is wonderful.  Life is hard.  God is a present help in time of trouble (& in times of joy!)
