Roll with it!

Roll with it!

In twenty something years you come to know many people and have a hard time pulling up stakes and moving. Some people we have come to know by the way they serve others in their life. One family we came to know in that time because the kids of the family were good leaders in the area and had a way of making our family feel important to others around them. Add to that that the mother of the family can cook so awesomely that Martha Stewart would be an amateur. We had many a blessing of the bread and other baked goods of her hands. Great people that helped me to know that even the hardest times can be the best of times. Many of the people in the area came to know us personally and that we are just people trying to make it through life and see if we can understand how it all works. We had many great adventures with the people of the area. We do miss lots of those people greatly and they will always be a big part of our lives and the lives of our kids. May God ever bless the people of the City of Enoch of our day.

For the past few months we have been as a ship sailing around an island looking for the best place to drop anchor and venture a shore. We have met many good hearted people who would love it if we would stay in their neighborhoods. Of course our son is always wishing us just a bit closer to them than we are. I have to say the hanging with the grand kids is always fun and enjoyable. We are still trying to get used to the empty nester life. We get a good kick when we go to church and people wonder where are family is. Don’t worry they caught us long enough to get us to do the unthinkable and speak in church. I would say I’m set for the next five years and as far as that again (speaking in public is not on my list again anytime soon). I would just as soon fall in a freezing cold pool of water or face a rattle snake in a slot canyon. We are kind of keeping the door open to things over the next few months to see what the Lord has in mind for us but that is how we roll with it in life.

Don’t ever think when you’re planted some place that it is where you will be for the rest of your life or even die there because God has a way of making the wind stop blowing so to speak and having your caravan pick up and move on. We keep asking what it is he has in store for us and maybe we will get to see it soon enough. For now we will just have to have the faith of many an explore in the history of the world that push on knowing there is something more out there to see and do.
