On a cold, rainy February day, Moses sits by the fire, contemplating life, love... and his next meal. Life is good.
C.S.Lewis wrote: "Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a good fire?"
I think not. Especially if you add a sweet old dog into the mix as well.
Thank You Lord for the incalculable gift of friendship. And warm fires, old dogs, hot tea, fellowship around a good meal, and a good book to read on blustery, rainy winter days. Thank You that Your gifts just keep on coming.
Forgive us when we grow immune to your astounding generosity because You are so relentlessly good and unsparing in your daily common gift-giving. A painted pink sunrise, a hug, a shrill song of the hawk, a soothing sound of falling rain, a warm bed, a hot shower, a laugh, a glimpse of the majestic blue heron, a sense of coming home as we hold Your Word in our laps. Thank You, Father. Give us eyes to see and hearts to rejoice. To God be the glory.
