I am sitting here today in my chair looking out onto God’s creation and my large beech tree. The sky is milky white, there is a soft breeze moving the huge canopy of gorgeous leaves. The colors of the leaves are deep red, golden yellow and green. The squirrels are on its beaches getting the beech nuts to store for winter.

It is a beautiful thing to behold from where God’s got me in this moment. My wife and I were invited out for dinner last night to a friends home. I did not realise how much my wife and I needed this until I was there. We have been friends praise God for 20 plus years with this couple and they have traveled a similar road as us. They are part of the Cursillo community we lived our retreats at the same time in 1999 and they are very stable in their faith walk with God.

They are busy with work ,children and ageing parents and relatives but you know what,  they get it done by God’s grace and are creating beauty not letting life create havoc.

Last night was just what God prescribed for all 4 of us. They are what God called us to be the salt and light to everyone, and they are.

John 15:12-15

John 15:12-15New International Version (NIV)

¹² My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends if you do what I command. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

God Bless them and their loved ones too 🙂
