THANKFUL

 πŸπŸŒ±πŸ‚πŸƒπŸπŸͺ΄

Early this Thanksgiving I said to myself, “self, if someone asks you today what you are most thankful for, what would it be?” I was busy, early morning little chores.. dog, cats.. coffee.. And of course I thought “for each and every person I know, and have known”. But once I sat down for a.m. Quietness, it came to me like a soft and quiet light turning on, that I am most thankful for what will be.

     After 45 years now of time to study, I know the genuine message that’s in the bible. Once you know it.. once we know the what, the how, and most importantly the why of this so brief life as we presently know it, so flawed, so imperfect, a crucible (THE ‘hell’).. Entropy. We can no longer not see it. And it’s all so simple! And obvious. ..But written in riddles! Things hidden in plain sight. It’s the pre-written message that’s obvious.

     I’m thankful to know we’re all in the same boat, all going to the same place.. Rev.21:1-5, translators changed “all” to “all things” ..among other things.. The truth is really that good, that it’s hard to truly believe..

     What I am most happy and thankful for, is what will be..

Wonderful Little Things

I've had some wonderful experiences with God - one time on a visit home, nine of us close family members went to a small outdoor ZZ Top concert. The first couple of songs, they sounded just a little bit rusty, but then they sang the line "Jesus just left Chicago.." and from then on they were dynamite! Sang all their old great songs.. "Cheap Sunglasses".. "Sharp Dressed Man".. We had a blast!
- Later, after my trip and at home, reflecting on my time there and being thankful, I thought "Gee Lord, I didn't make much room for you.. didn't draw you into the days and around us enough during my visit home.." But right then, coming to my mind, and clear as day, I heard the lines and music "Jesus just left Chicago.." ..."You might not see Him in person, but he'll be there just the sa-ame.." :))
