Truthfully, I’m posting again so soon because the photo of those flowers is such poor quality I don’t want it on the top front of this page! The bouquet actually looks better still at almost a week old than that photo! I’ll have to get a better one in a few minutes!
So, the days are getting long and my status as a wife of a deployed spouse is really getting old. I’m a little weepy and each day brings promise of a new bout of tears for no apparent reason. Go figure. Pocket tissues in the purse are a good thing.
My days are normal. Go here to see what that really means! So, it isn’t like there is boredom and dullsville around me. It probably more of the opposite. We lead a busy, involved, proactive life. This brings on its own set of challenges and emotional highs and lows. While it is rewarding work, and our days usually end with “good tired” sighs, it is all part of a taxing daily grind.
Without God in our sights, how would we face each busy day? I guess there are plenty of folks out there who would have their own answers. Here on our turf, however, my answer is that God provides the supernatural strength to face each challenge. God provides the convicting spirit to keep us humble and on the narrow path of kindness and regard for others, (insert your own personal challenge in the place of that last humbling confession statement.) We are servants in God’s kingdom seeking to take up his causes and do our part.
Our work is tiring, but it is rewarding. So, tears and tensions may be more frequent as the waiting continues, but, we’ll be ok.
