Three of my friends left this week for warmer climes, two going to Texas and the other to Georgia. There’s not many of us left living here at the RV resort this late in the season, less than a dozen probably.🙏🏽 Systems-wise, we’re ready to leave,🙏🏽 but we’ve chosen to stay put as long as the weather is good. Once we leave, it’s a toss up as to where we go between then and December 23rd, the date of our first reservation in South Padre Island, Texas. Normally, by now I’d have the entire month of December scripted, but this time it’s in God’s hands.
A unique blessing of being amongst very few people is the opportunity to get to know them better.🙏🏽 Because the resort is virtually deserted, there’s just more time now to have good conversation, not just exchange pleasantries.🙏🏽 And what an uplifting, joyful blessing it is to connect with another who is likeminded spiritually!🙏🏽
The practice of daily gratitude has developed my trust in that whenever the time is right, we’ll be ready to leave. 🙏🏽 I’ve learned that God knows exactly what I need when I need it, so I don’t have to worry.🙏🏽 Until then, there’s enough happening to keep me occupied in this in-between time. 🙏🏽 Until then, I can relish the opportunities presented to me each day and make the most of them.🙏🏽 Until then, I can live each moment with gratitude, and that is Peace.🙏🏽
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people–for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~1 Timothy 2:1-2
