THESE ARE DAYS THE LORD HAST MADE

We have passed the ‘fail safe’ point of March.
Winter is about done, little chance of any significant snowfall.

We have seen the first robin.

Buds are appearing on trees and although the nights are cool, daytime temps are pushing up toward the sixties.

The cycles are repeating. They would do so whether we were present or not. A sobering thought.

We have attended our second full vestry meeting at Church, the beginning of a new term after at least six years ‘out of office’.

Dear Wife’s annual two-week trip to Florida sans husband is again underway and all appears to be going well in that southern region.

Dear Sophie and I remain in residence at The Study.

St. Pat’s Day was observed twice, a few days early at a fabulous singing/dining/fellowship party in a lovely home of friends and on the Day itself at our local Elks Club with again, music, food, and fellowship.

A fabulous birthday party for this ole Dad/Grandad was lovingly prepared and delivered by Dear Wife, Dear Son, Dear Daughter, Dear Son-in-law, Dear Daughter-in-law, and Dear Granddaughters – food, fellowship, laughter, gifts – a time of renewal and reassurance.

And conversation around a backyard fire afterwards was enhanced by the stroll through of no less than six deer.

So many good things are occurring, are repeating. As well as some that could be better.
Such is the stuff of life.

We thank the Lord for His blessings and pray for the strength to properly receive that which is to come.
