He sipped the coffee gratefully and slowly to make it last.”
–Rod Collins (Bitter’s Run)
Good mornin’ to yuh, Pard. Good thing the coffee’s good or I might start to grumblin’. Reason? Technology! All my phone photo albums are empty, ugh. Then the photos on my phone won’t update, ugh. Then this morning crazy doodle-google didn’t want me to log on. They wanted all my information again for gmail–ugh. There, grumblin’s over.
My, the days have sure been nice. Cool, but not bad weather. That’s the way I like it. Taste that coffee, ahhh, just the way I like it. Tasty, mighty tasty this mornin’. Pard, I’ve got a question for yuh. Since next week is Thanksgiving, have yuh started countin’ yur blessin’s yet? The Lord sure is good! Despite what the media might say, despite the pundits and the politicians with their drool–none of that deters from the fact that God is good. Even in the time of spiritual battle we should be thankful that the Lord deemed us capable of fightin’ the enemy. We should be thankful that He even called us to serve Him in such a manner. The battle may rage, but He is in control.
Pard, Thanksgiving is a good time to check out our attitude. Do we have one of gratitude, or do we take things for granted? Pard, I reckon that sometimes I take for granted that the Lord is walkin’ beside me on this trail of life, but in a sense I guess that could also be called living by faith. I don’t have to seek Him out, for He is always here! That’s good news, Pard! So, what I’m tryin’ to tell yuh is, there is a difference in takin’ the Lord and His blessin’s for granted and living by faith knowin’ that He’ll take care of us. However, as we sip this wonderful elixir, we should always be thankful. Thankful that He is with us in the midst of a crazy, insane, gone mad, woke world.
Always keep an attitude of gratitude, Pard. A sour attitude don’t do no one no good atall! Even my grumblin’ over technology doesn’t add one thing to my life, just spoils my disposition. So, Pard, be thankful–count yur blessin’s each and ev’ry day and along with that be sure an’ check yur cinch.
Vaya con Dios.
