Rambling by Susan L.

  I ended up having a lovely day yesterday. Rather spontaneously, I had a friend over. We threw together a wonderful dinner of chicken, a couple of salads and ended with fresh fruit and ice cream. The conversation flowed. We had some laughs, shared some tears, then went for a meandering amble through the park.
  As we were strolling leisurely through the campground area, she spotted a teeny tiny baby snake that was probably fresh out of the egg. To us, the pavement looked smooth but watching it weave around the protruding lumps of tarmac and stone made me realize, on a macro level, it sure wasn't smooth!
  It's all about perspective.
  Hmmm. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
  I guess from God's view, our paths are smooth but for those of us in the thick of it, it sometimes seems lumpy, bumpy, and full of obstructions. Snake philosophy 101.
  And that's it for today. I've an early start for a staff training day. We're having a guest speaker come in and do a Safe Talk lecture, the precursor to Suicide Prevention.
  "I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High." Ps 7:17
