Getting ready...

Well, 17 days and counting.  Quite a bit still on the docket.  No, you can't get out of your AT&T contract just by moving out of the country, ouch!  No, the State of Maine does not refund if you have overpaid them.  Yes, putting things on the curb with a  "FREE" sign does attract folks and helps me tremendously.

All in all the move is coming along, speed bumps and all.  I am a relatively easy going person, adapt mostly to situations, but this has been a doozy of a transition so far.  Mostly because while you move, life goes on and you have to continue with everything else that you do.

This morning I read a beautiful piece of scripture  and thoughts from Heartlight:
VERSE:

   Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

    -- Psalm 34:11

     

THOUGHT:

   What better goal for a father or mother could there be? Even if you have no children of your own, or if your "own" children are grown, God gives you his children at your congregation so you can teach them to love, honor, and reverence their one and only heavenly Father.

PRAYER:

   Loving Father, help me to be involved in teaching your children and as I teach, please bless my efforts to teach them to love, honor, and reverence you, the one true and holy God. In Jesus' name I ask for this help and grace. Amen.

It sort of puts everything into perspective....
