No Sense Arguing With Reality

As many of you are by now aware, while I was at Church Camp in July I broke my arm. It was not how I thought I would be spending the rest of the summer. It’s not what I would have chosen to do. But it is what happened. And, as my lovely and brilliant partner, Susan, frequently reminds me, there’s no point in arguing with reality. So I am concentrating on making the best of the situation. I am looking for the blessings, and finding them to be abundant. In whatever direction I look, I am experiencing God’s ongoing and active presence in my life. I am surrounded by people who love me and care about me and are praying for my healing and speedy recovery. I have access to quality medical care. It appears that I will not need surgery. And I am profoundly aware of so many ways in which my life is filled with blessings. The fact that I can write this article by simply speaking into my phone is but one example. So I invite you to join me in being on the lookout for the many ways in which God is actively present in your life. I am confident that what you will find is far more than you could ever have imagined. God is good and life is a blessing.
