Or maybe I’m really glad to see that people still visit my website even when I’m not posting.<\/p>\n
Or maybe it’s the seasonal affective disorder that the meds aren’t effectively treating.<\/p>\n
Or maybe I’m a bit emotional because my uncle just died.<\/p>\n
Or maybe I’m just smelling the onion left on my hands from the stew I threw together this afternoon.<\/p>\n
Whatever the case, my eyes are a bit watery tonight.<\/p>\n
Big things, little things, they cause my heart to swell.<\/p>\n
Swell with thankfulness that my uncle is in heaven, worshiping freely with a whole mind (He died of brain cancer.)<\/p>\n
Swell with sorrow as I think of his wife (my aunt), his children and grandchild, future grandchildren that will never meet him.<\/p>\n
Swell with joy as I think of the woman who joined our Bible study tonight, a seeker, eager to experience God.<\/p>\n
Swell with sadness as I think of her husband, raised in the church, but skeptical of the faith.<\/p>\n
Swell with joy as I consider all the many things God, in His grace, has allowed me to accomplish today, despite the SAD.<\/p>\n
Sigh with exhaustion as I consider all the things I have yet to accomplish in the upcoming days.<\/p>\n
My day has been full, my heart is full, my eyes threaten to overflow.<\/p>\n
God has been good and gracious throughout each of life’s ups and downs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
