Brown with patches of residual green the fields in front of the farm house lay beneath the cloud diminished sunlight. Periods of drizzling rain happen upon us as nature expresses yet another change in her never ending cycle. Warm and secure within the shelter of our home this thankful inhabitant reflects with gratitude upon the days and months past. Opportunities presented and actions taken that have yielded desired results and those which have yielded undesirable outcomes are among the collection of memories which we gratefully sort through. Memories serve the purpose of framing the background for today, not through comparison, but rather as a foundation in grace and mercy that have rendered today as being possible in our experience. As one presently looks ahead to the completion of today and the hope of another, the knowledge that “in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28), serves as a peaceful foundation.
