I just want to swat all these flies that are buzzing round
the house. In fact, I did swat a couple (but missed) while I was doing my Bible
reading, and felt kinda bad about that…
After the bonfire we had the other night, I felt a familiar
soreness which has happened enough that I can readily identify it: a tick had
crunched its jaws into my ankle. The most precious thing we have in this house
is the little tick remover which looks like a credit card and effectively wheeks
ticks out of flesh.
I’ve just ordered a couple of spray bottles of Skin so Soft,
as an upcoming week on the west coast carries the ‘promise’ of clouds of midgies,
which swarm and bite and cause misery.
This is a beautiful world the Lord has blessed us with … but
why, oh why, is it full of such creatures?
Life mirrors nature: taxes, MOT tests, parking fines:
irritants abound which can steal our joy.
Where is God in all these minor miseries? Walking us through
them, guiding our steps, willing to influence our moods if we only would depend
on him more.
Hmmm. The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. Not so
sure he created taxes and parking fines, but he certainly made the flies and ticks
and midgies.
May I trust in him today, even when I don’t see the point of
some things…
