I usually post pictures when some event has happened, a hike or climb, a family gathering, or visiting something new and interesting. But what about everyday life and simple things along the path? Do we celebrate or give them a second thought? Are we thankful for the daily indications of God’s creativity, power, and care for us? We can avoid thinking a day is dreary if we look at the little interesting and beautiful things along our path. Look all the harder on the days when struggles want to overcome you and drag you down. When the day is gray, look for the shades of gray and hints of other hues. Thankfulness to God for the daily mercies and manifold graces is glorifying to God and healing to your bones, as it is honoring and encouraging to others through pleasant words (Proverbs 3:7-8, 16:24).

Wow, time flies whether you are having fun or not. So many challenges and unknowns have come our way in the last 3 months, but God is faithful and His providential care and guidance is unerring even when we can’t see it. We are thankful that our house sold, but we don’t know where we are going next. Houses are hard to get in this rarefied real estate market, and direction for where we should be is even harder at the moment. I am by no means a control freak, but I like a little predictability and consistency in my life, and that is all out the window at the moment. My climbing partner said just today that I seem to handle uncertainty (“the unknowns” as we called it) pretty well. I testified to God’s work in my life to make that so. If I say that I trust God, then I need to prove it by not fretting and by waiting for His guidance.
Having said all of that, I am also thankful for decompression times like hiking hard on an approach to a cliff and climbing hard on climbs that are very challenging for me. That was today. Last week was more chill (or was it?) on a bright sunny day and friends trying hard at the boulder field. Check out a few pictures of that trip at Bouldering with Friends.
