About noon today the sun snuck through the clouds, the clouds disappeared and it has been rainless for the first time in over two weeks. The forecast for tomorrow is another sunny, dry day. The local residents are ecstatic that the rain has stopped and it will be an opportunity to get outside and start the task of raking up all the leaves the rain knocked off the trees. The ground here at Source of Light is covered, but the trees still have a lot left on them, so the leaf-gathering will not be completed quickly. I will be part of the crew which is assigned to leaf duty over the next month or so. A chance to get back on the mowers and tractors. Thursday it looks like we will be back in the print shop for collating some Bible Lessons to be sent out to SOL students.
Karen has already boxed up all the 2013 accounting paperwork, making room in the cabinets for the 2016 files and doing something with the 2014 and 2015 papers so they can be available for tax time and other needs. We are both back into the "routine" and it is good to be here. We have been to church, had a get-together for lunch Sunday, dinner with another group last night and will be going to Veterans' Day activities tonight and tomorrow at the High School and here at the Mission. We've already been to the Verizon store with questions on our new phones and the Walmart is only two miles away instead of ten, so we have been there a few times in our first five days. Don and Sonja (my book suppliers from last year) have already given me a book to read (The Price of Freedom) and I look forward to it and the others yet to come.
Yes, we have settled back into our "winter" home. The bins are all cleaned out and reorganized, the lady bugs seem to be on the wane, the mice hopefully are gone and life is good. The sun is behind the trees out our front window and it is not a "rainy night in Georgia". And, we rest on God's assurance that the best is yet to come. Thank You, Lord.
