I just woke up from a two hour mid-day nap, after sleeping almost two hours more than usual and having a morning of mostly sitting with my feet up in the comfortable co-captain's chair of our motor home. My brother, Phil, and I went for a leisurely walk this morning enjoying the 70-ish weather and the lack of rain after a very wet and soggy week here in Madison. Phil and Sharon arrived yesterday afternoon for a visit from Jacksonville, FL, and we have worked very hard at not working hard. It has been wonderful to just relax, lounge around, play board games with some of the SLM people last night, raid the refrigerator, chase lady bugs and "enjoy".
Our only real concern at the moment is a glitch in our bathroom and a possible inability to dump our "black water" and "grey water" tanks because of the over abundance of rain the past week which may have backed up our sewer line. I'm not sure how we will actually know when the line is usable, so, in the meantime, when nature calls, we jump in the car, ride up the hill to our Mission headquarters and use the facilities there. At lest we are getting some exercise, getting out of the RV and learning something about pre-planning and making due with minimal use of one potty for four people. Sleeping later, and taking naps, makes the situation less critical.
It's great to have the convenience and freedom we do. I say it often, how blessed Karen and I are to live as we do. We are well aware that we have little to complain about, much to be thankful for and humbled by the grace of God in allowing us to serve Him as we do, yet having a peace and joy that is beyond what we deserve or have cause to expect. Jesus told us, that in life there would be trials and tribulations, and we have all had our share, but He also promised life abundantly to those who sought Him and sought to serve Him. As we celebrate, Christmas, the birth of our Lord and Savior, and contemplate the life He lived and the life He gave, it's wonderful to know that while we have been given so much, as we give back, we will see that the best is yet to come. Let's all rejoice and be glad and live in the peace of God and say again.........Thank You, Lord.
