He Cared!

One of the benefits of spending more time at home, is becoming a bit more familiar with the lake wildlife.  Most every day I see the alligator come up to sun himself and the sand crane frequently stops by to tap on my door.  I don’t believe that he is wanting me to come out to play but rather is curious about his image on the glass. 

As I read Psalm 78 today I was impressed about the importance of passing the history of God’s miracles on to the next generation, recognizing how easy it is to talk about the problems and challenges of life rather than putting our focus on the amazing miracles and provisions of God.  As we fail to respond appropriately as individuals, ignoring the tremendous history of God’s blessings, we impact the entire nation as was the nation of Israel in this Psalm.  We see there the result of ingratitude, expecting everything to be perfect without obedience and then becoming demanding of a gracious God.  In spite of their disobedience, Asaph wraps up the chapter saying “He cared for them with a true heart and led them will skillful hands.” (Vs. 72)  WOW isn’t that an example for us!

Tomorrow I plan to go to Orlando for a get-to-gather with Carol’s family and the wedding of cousin Sherri Saturday afternoon.   Carol’s brother Phil and his wife, then plan to return with me for a few days.  It will be a great time to catch up with that part of the family.

Have a blessed Easter weekend.  HE IS RISEN!

Love to all,

Chuck
