He wanted another cup of coffee, but lacked the energy to get up and get it. For several minutes he sat looking at the pot and measuring his weariness against the desire for the coffee.”
–Louis L’Amour (Kid Rodelo)
Pard, the coffee is perking a lot faster than I am, but each day I’m gettin’ stronger. I had a good week, and was able to write some. I’m anxious to get to work on my new book, but just haven’t had the gumption to get on it. Where is the vim and vinegar? But don’t be frettin’ too much, Pard. It’s gettin’ better each day and I’m still able to perk up a pot of coffee for us to enjoy.
Ahhh, enjoy that flavor. Reminds me that once in a while we should sit back and enjoy the view and the coffee. Why the other mornin’ I was sittin’, doin’ some ponderin’, and readin’ my mornin’ devotions. I picked up my cup of coffee, took a sip, then looked out the window. A group of half dozen deer were browsin’ and movin’ through the woods next to the house. Brought a smile to my face.
Enjoy that coffee, and not only that, but taste and see that the Lord is good. There is too much whinin’, complainin’, and bellyachin’ today, even amongst Christians. Take time and “taste” the blessin’s of the Lord. He is faithful and good.
My strength is returnin’, Pard. For a couple of weeks the missus had to make the coffee and bring a cup to me. It was a workout just to make it to the livin’ room; no way I could have stopped along the way to get the coffee boilin’. Now that coffee, is made from my own two hands, along with a smile. I’m glad yur enjoyin’ it.
Desire what God has for you each and every day. Don’t be foolish or careless. Make sure yur prepared should the Lord sweep down today. Read yur Bible, keep yur gun cleaned and by yur side, and check that cinch before yuh mount.
Vaya con Dios.
