After having a week of fun events celebrating special occasions in my family I am registering "sick" again. Nasty cold! It's a January pain.
There's always a let-down after a time of frenzy, and sometimes the body just lets down a bit too far.
This is a good month to be holed up, though. New books acquired for Christmas beg to be read, games should be played at least every other night.
Errands take on an "expedition" feeling----you really have to get everything together before heading out!
The weather is freakishly warm for this area this winter. Tomorrow we'll get our first 0 or below, at least it's predicted.
The sun has been out, and we've enjoyed the lengthening days.
School is back in full force, and schedules are adjusted for the new semester.
One thing we gave up for the "unemployment faze" was music lessons. With thankful hearts we started up the piano and violin sessions again. Our beloved teacher was happy to see us today!
As events of 2012 begin to unfold, some surprising (politics), some tragic (a ship sunk), the natural joy of life can be the drive that powers our days.
I hear the scorn of non-believers, their incessant rant against Christ-followers, and I am only more deeply aware of my place within Christ's embrace. The spiritual life given by the Holy Spirit permeates our existence. Who can deny it? Only one who has never met the ONE.
January. Time to reflect on our life in Christ. Time to plan, to set goals, to do the best we can, but all for the Lord's sake.
Because He IS all that matters.
