GOOD REASON

A good reason to go to church is that it is raining when you arrived and enter and it has stopped when you come out.  Also the sun came out the day before for the community market where people bring items from the garden to sell.  It was outside in the sunshine.

Often people in the past have told me not to worry, even when I had good reason to do so, but Jesus tells us not to be anxious and not to worry because it foes not help.  Life continues on around us no matter what we do.

I was looking around at church and we have all aged so there are many gray hairs giving beauty to our place.  It is not easy to stop worrying as it seems to be a natural thing to do.

We hear of disaster after disaster in the news each day.  It is a good reason for us to worry.

Instead of worry we are encouraged to take responsibility and do our part, and to be creative in the way that only we can be.

If we worry there will be a worm in every apple that would be a good reason not to eat apples.

There is a message that may seem simplistic and means working through our worries and our own inner woundedness.

A good reason to believe in the impossible.

dad and I have a good reason to visit Carol and Panteli to fix a electrical problem and to visit with Sandra, and Hamlet and Kim.

So dad is feeling better and you were able to go for dinner at Carol's? I had planned on going shopping and then dinner but my foot was too sore to be walking in the mall so I went with Randy to Vancouver to meet Mandi and James for lunch.

When we got home our power was out so Randy started a fire and I read for a bit and then had a nap. It did not stay off for too long though.

Our neighbour finally got their car out of our garage, been there all summer while they did renos and their garage was full of furniture.

I had eggs for you on Saturday and forgot to bring them. : (

Sandra We are sorry your foot is not getting better.

The eggs will get here some how or other.

We went to church but left right away as dad's stomach did not feel too good.

Some times it is good when the power goes out as long as it is not too long..

Love mom
