Communication is important
I have become peaceful with the fact that even sporadic communication is better than no communication. Granted, to maintain a relationship takes regular and effective communication. So...I desire to write more regularly. I'm not saying how often that is yet!
Life is too short and too much fun to keep to ourselves. It really is a feast that is both abundant and mobile. Sometimes in the routine and mundane of everyday I can easily forget. I am fortunate to have lived in several countries. I have friends and incredible memories of experiences from each of them. St. Paul once wrote to a group of his friends in Ephesus the following declaration: "God can do anything, you know--far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!" I have a short memory though. I need regular reminders of this truth
That has actually been our life's motto and experience from the beginning of our relationship as a couple. And we have seen God grant us so much and so faithfully over these thirty six plus years we've shared together. I am so incredibly blessed! I have wonderful wife,four great kids, three of whom have awesome spouses (and an amazing friend who would be an awesome wife for someone, just saying)! We have three fantastic grandkids (and two more arriving before year's end!). I have the best job in the world, living in our adopted country and culture (of choice) with the privilege of loving people into the Kingdom of God and making a difference in families and relationships.
I believe that what I am doing at this moment God has been preparing me for my entire life. What else can I say...life for me is truly a mobile celebration, "a moveable feast" of all that God so graciously allows us to experience wherever we are or whatever we do and no matter the circumstance.
