May the coming year be full of new
surprises and opportunities. Be open to the possibilities that God has for you.
Leroy and I are spending a quiet day
at home partly because of the cold and partly because he is still coughing.
Leroy thought to watch some of the rose parade on TV. It never came across my
mind. Somehow I never got so very interested in the parades on Thanksgiving or
New Year’s Day. I remember going to my aunt’s house because they had a TV long
before we had one in our home. After we did have a TV they probably had color
while ours was back and white, so again the festivities needed to be at her
house. It was not just because of the parades, but also because of the football
games. I am not interested in the games at all. I only have been to one game
and I left at half time, as that was enough experience for me. Not very USA
type, am I?
Sometimes I resist being called an “American”
because I feel that the people in the rest of the Americas should be included
in that title. Just how did people in the USA take over that title as if it
belonged exclusively? If we are not called Americans what could we be called?
Yesterday, when I walked to church I
noticed the entire sidewalk that had that new dusting of overnight snow had
footprints. There weren’t many cars on the road, but some walkers were out
early. On the way home I noticed a family ahead of me. All of them had grocery
bags. Even in the cold some still need to venture out for supplies.
Have a good day and joyful days to
come. I just realized I put the date as 2017. Guess I have not made it to the
new year yet.
