We wish you all a blessed and happy new year.
We all know where our blessings and happiness originate; may we not forsake to pray and give thanks to our Father for all we need and receive.
May we all walk in the faith that he will provide what we need, even if that is not always what we would like or think we need.
I was thinking this morning, I forgot in what context, that one tool God uses to shape us is what I will call the No-Tool. Could it be that when we ask, we look for something to be added to our lives? Could it be that we are always in danger of wanting to get too 'fat'? Does God need to use the No-Tool to 'reduce' us to a state of 'fit-to-receive', which does not necessarily mean that we then will be showered with new blessings...The greatest blessing might just be that he allows us to attain to this state of 'fit-to-receive'. Think about it...
We had a quiet day today. Spent some time geocaching, of course...Stop in at the Siebengas to get our fill of oliebollen...they were very good, but not quite what I look for in an oliebol...I believe these things are so totally personal that one can really only enjoy one's own completely fully...how's that for a well composed taste-test report...
We found our third cache...not the one that got us stumped yesterday...more about that later...quite an easy one, close to home again.
On our way to the Siebengas we stopped at Upper Sumas Elementary to find one that John S. himself placed there. It involves some math to come to a new set of coordinates, and the math did not work. I ended up with a negative number, and that does not work for coordinates on earth, only in the netherworld...
As to the one that had us befuddled yesterday, I actually had the solution in my hands first thing we got there yesterday...but that did not dawn on us until today. It also involved a new set of coordinates, so into Horn Park we went again...darkness got the better of us there, so the second part of this one will have to wait some more...
I am not promising to write an account or post a picture of every time we go out and 'score'...life has other business to attend to as well. Nevertheless, stay tuned...
God bless.
