The past few days Karen and I have been pretty inactive. Karen has been fighting a bug she might have brought from Georgia and with the wind howling and temperature dropping, she has been pretty much home-bound, intent on sighting dolphins (she just saw one) in the St. John's River, out our front window. But, while we are doing (I just saw him) little, a lot of people are doing jobs which keep our immediate area, our country and our world "going".
I've thought a lot the past few days about all it takes to keep our lives as they are, the people who provide our food, make the products we use, keep us safe or serve us in so many ways. The list is endless, but I think of what they might be thinking, and thank, them all for what they do and what they may have to endure to do it. We are the recipient of so much, and hopefully we contribute to the mix by the things we do, the words we speak and the attitude we convey. Even if we are not working in the dollars and cents mode, or presently in a volunteer ministry activity, we should be working to make the world we live in a better, happier, more peaceful, nicer place. A kind word, a smile, a thank you for what others do can do a lot to brighten our day and theirs. And, thank You, Lord for allowing us another day, a day to be salt and light, a day to appreciate and be grateful for our life and what lies ahead in your plan for each of us. By Your grace we have been abundantly blessed, to be a blessing back at You and Your creation.
