It is becoming fall. In Texas that doesn't mean much since we really only have two seasons, hot and less hot. When we do get a nice fall temperature day it is grand. Today is one of those days. Since we have had so many days over 100 degrees this is a welcome respite.
I wish I could say that I feel fall festive but my Spirit is sad. Today a family member who is struggling with a life threatening illness continues to deal with consequences for poor choices in her life. Just when we thought there was a good living situation arranged that has all evaporated. To compound matters yet another poor choice played a part in the immediate emergency decision to end the living situation. Now she is without a place to live and with no money. Once again, no one is coming to help but my husband.
Lord, I know you oversee our lives and have answers to our problems. I bring this situation to You and ask that the best thing for everyone concerned would be brought to bear. Most of all please help my immediate family to deal with it in a manner that causes less stress. I love my husband and know that he is struggling the most. Bless him with Your strength and peace. Amen
So on the climb it is important to keep my focus. Distractions can be physical challenges. I submit that as the air gets cleaner, crisp and cool on this climb it also a time to dig into my spirit and enjoy the journey. There are difficulties we all face but they get smaller when our big God is on the scene and the control is left with Him.
