first time voter

Our grandson Jake is a first-time voter.

I am so proud of him.

Today is Election Day in the USA.

Please go out and vote if you haven't already.

It is extremely important.

 

finding good in the dark

 When the long days of summer are finally over,

When darkness comes before supper,

When sleep patterns are rearranged,

When hunger comes at odd times...

It must be Daylight Savings time again.

When God says "Be anxious for nothing,"

When we are commanded to "Take every thought captive,"

When God declared "Nighttime good,"

When I pray and ask Him to help me "Rejoice in all things."

I tuck in and try to find good in darkness.

Here goes...

I eat supper a little earlier to get through before it gets pitch dark.

I close all my window coverings and pretend it's still light outside.

I clean the kitchen and tidy the house.

I go through my nightly get-ready-for-bed routine.

I settle in my chair with a good book

I might watch a movie or look at a house renovation show.

Then I get in bed and read until I fall asleep.

I go to bed early with no guilt and sleep most of the darkness away.

When I wake up it's starting to get light again.

God, thank You, for the moon and stars that light up the winter sky.

You made the night for relaxation and rest.

You watch over us during the night.

You never slumber or sleep.

We earth dwellers will acclimate to the time-change.

We'll be fine in a couple of days.
