Partly Cloudy
As spring nears an end, the dark and raining days continue. I know I said in last night’s posting that one can find energy, like the tube worm, in the dark; but it is hard and tiring work.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is “partly cloudy”. That does not sound great but I will take it as long as I can get a chance to work outside. A little ‘partly sunny’ would also help.
This morning at our faith sharing session we were asked “how do we pray”? My response was to say that I try to accept where I am at and to make the best out of it. If I am in the car driving someone or waiting for someone to see a doctor, I try to make the best of the situation, be it reading a book or in a conversation. When I said it I was not sure how that was prayer but later in the day I was given a chance to understand it.
When my friend came out of the doctor’s office today she told me how this Catholic hospital/clinic had a box full of bible quotes or anonymous sayings. She had taken two quotes. One was from the bible, with Jesus saying “Ask and you shall be given it” and the other one was an anonymous quote that went something like this: “The past is gone forever, the future is a mystery, but the time right now is a gift and that is why it is called the ‘present.’”
Without light or sun it is more difficult to see the gift of the present but it is there. The present is a gift that keeps on giving.
