Today is Veteran's Day. Such an honor to know so many who have served and are currently serving our country to protect us and keep us safe. Where would our nation be without you?? We can never repay you for your service to this country. Saying "thank you" just doesn't seem adequate, but, that is what we can do. Each and everyone of us can speak up and show gratitude in that manner. So, today, and everyday as you see a soldier; a man or woman who has been broken because of their service to our country; a young boy or girl who has had countless days and even years spent away from their mom or dad because they are in the Armed Forces; when you see one of these STAND UP and thank them for their service.

God is in the midst
We have just returned from a short camping expedition. What a time we had. It is November, but the weather was gorgeous. A little cool at night and early in the morning, but the rest of the time was wonderfully warm and sunny. Found time to take many walks and just visit the land that God created. The swamps, the reds and yellows and oranges of the beautiful trees changing their colors to get ready for winter. The moss and the Oaks were among the best part of the trip. In California you do not see the Mossy Oaks as they have here in Georgia. The breeze starts the moss swaying. If you look closely you can see all kinds of images in the gray, filmy shapes that are attached to the branches. I saw God's hand in so many places. The giant trees. The flowing water. The bright, blue, clear sky. He created and said "it was good". I would have to agree. Who would know better then God!!! Once I learn to attach photos, I will post some of the beauty of this great land.
I believe that as I observe, pay attention, and seek, then I will see God's hand all around me. He is busy doing a work. He has created. He has set this world in orbit. It hasn't fallen. I remember one song that I used to share with the kids. There is a phrase that is so good ". . . who puts the salt in when it gets to the sea?" Yes, indeed. How does the sweet, fresh water from the mountain spring end up in the ocean? At what point does it become sea water? Well, my God, knows these answers. He is not confused on this point. So, I would say to you today; "Open up your eyes, your ears, your mouth, all of your senses and see what God has done for you." He is surely available and present and eager to be a part of our lives. Surely, He is in the midst. Remember when you are in turmoil, questioning WHY, that He is as close as a prayer away. Be blessed this week.
