Full days......

Yes, I can just imagine what is going on in son's life these days.

Will tree planting be all that it is cracked up to be? Or is it cracked up to be anything to begin with? Will he find himself planting with lightening speed? Will he enable himself to think of his new position in life, as being a sustainer of the world ecological system? Will he be ready for combat (against the mosquitoes)? Will exhaustion overtake him at some point and he will simply be another casualty left by the tree planting roadside?

I'm thinking about him these days.....and praying for him to be tough in the midst of adversity!

I'm praying that for daughter's life too. Perhaps Spanish class will simply have to wait for a while until there is more time to tackle it. I pray God allows her wisdom in what she does in the next couple of days as there are times to do certain things but there are also better times to do certain things. I know she will choose what is best for her and her family.

We are also enjoying having my cousin, Sue and her husband, Joe here to visit this week. Joe had hoped to see a blizzard, but alas, he and Sue arrived a few weeks too late. There just aren't very many blizzards in Texas to speak of but we have tried to tell him what they were like. He can just imagine..........

Today has been a mixture of many things. Busy at work. Visiting Aunt Connie in hospital. Speaking with daughter on the phone. Having guests for supper. I enjoy a full day. It's a gift from God to be able to enjoy it.

"This is the day that the Lord has made
Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

Not sure if you get over to Marc's blog much, but he did a post on his first week of treeplanting (which was a good 13 years ago now!). Here's the link: http://vandersluys.ca/?p=10315
