Changes

It was one of those weeks. Big changes. Political changes. Personal changes. Weather changes. We have a new president as of last Friday. I was working at home. I was able to watch the whole thing. I must admit I was proud. It has been awhile since someone I voted for was in office.

Then the protest. Some were violent. Some were vulgar. Most were hateful. It made me angry. I think of the way most behaved during the last administration. There were also protest. But nothing to this extent. It also made me sad. But watching the celebrations. The joy and pride of those celebrating. That was pride. God is with us. And anyway, only God is in control. His will is always done.

I planted this weekend. I practiced. I cleaned. I lived. Sometimes I don't feel like I do enough. What does God want me to do here? Maybe just living, believing and loving. Maybe it isn't so complicated. Maybe he just wants me to be happy and enjoy the fruits of my labor, plus share with those less fortunate. Could it be so easy? I like to make things hard.

Work starts again tomorrow. The sun comes up. Then the sun goes down. We work, we play, we eat and we sleep. The world keeps turning and changes happen throughout. God is good.
