I AM HERE

I see sunshine in the woods. it has an orange-yellow tint.

It lifts me. Everything is possible. Along the shoreline,

the small mountains of snow reflect the sun. The whole

of the lake looks frozen, and the sun shines brightly off of it

almost looking like a cloud. There are clouds above, which

are different shades of gray all the way to white. Winter

is amazing in beauty. All the trees have snow on their

limbs. It is eight above zero at the present time.

We are halfway through winter, and most are eager

for spring. The sun has been scarce, and we have had

cold and snow throughout the season up until now.

It will warm up. It always does, and we will be able

to resume our usual outdoor activities. That fact

makes us happy, but when the warm weather

comes, we will find something to complain about.

Our time is right now, and we have to make use of it.

People want to know what you are going to do

next and my answer is I am here, that is all that

matters. What I do I am doing now. Let us pray.

We prayed and asked and answered a few

questions. Everyone seemed to be at peace.

This was my first time joining them. I came

uninvited and was received well because we

were acquainted and they liked me for the

many things I had done for them. We have

now, regardless of the sun and weather. We

should not be idle but have some agenda that

we gladly carry out. We have the moment and

nothing else matters with respect to ourselves.

We pray, give thanks, and move on to the

next thing. This may frustrate those who

have no plan, but it is satisfactory to us.
