I live in a retirement community in a comfortable home. And there are times when it would be easier to stay at home and relax. But I don't like to sit still and do nothing. I like to be active.
And I can't remember when I've had a more interesting and unusual week as this past week.
We hiked a familiar trail and saw log trucks.
Way back on the land that constitutes the Halpata Tastanaki Preserve are some pine forests. Here's a photo of the locked gate they go through, it's not open to the public.
But we happened to be there to see 3 big trucks haul Texas Toothpicks out of the forest. (that's what we always called the tall skinny pine trees)
And then there was an early morning meeting with a very special young man.
One of my sons was passing through and I got to have breakfast with him and hug him about 100 times!
That really made the week AMAZING!
And then I got to do a good deed. I'm not at liberty to say what I did. But I will say I didn't hesitate to do the right thing. And even though I will not know the outcome, I hope and pray someone is very thankful for the hiker in the pink cap this week. I know God blesses us when we live our lives caring for others and following the Golden Rule.
So I have had lots of good feelings and special blessings this past week.
Have you had a chance to let your light shine?
