Chris was back at it hard and heavy at cardiac rehab. Well, maybe not that hard and heavy. At least they didn’t increase resistance on any of the machines since they had to take a week off for Winter Storm Megan. I got back out while she was gone and made my two mile walk again. And last night I felt it. Mainly in that structurally significant portion of the legs just above the knee. Didn’t throb or anything. Just barked a bit when I first stood up from a sitting position.
The
rest of the day I spent either at my computer doing work for church or at the
puzzle table struggling over Charlie Brown and Snoopy, our latest
challenge. It’s coming along. We completed it in stages. First was the edges, of course. Then Charlie’s yellow shirt. Then the grass. Then his head. Then his feet (Chris picked out the colors
so I would know which ones went where). Then Snoopy.
Then the sky. I think we are
finally down to Snoopy’s red doghouse. The
problem there is the colors all look the same.
That means we have to place pieces either by shapes alone or by the wee tiny
little scenes that are going on in each individual piece. Either way … a challenge.
I
read something this morning that was really profound. What do you think? It’s from My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald
Chambers:
If
we are devoted to the cause of humanity, we shall soon be crushed and
broken-hearted, for we shall often meet with more ingratitude from men than we
would from a dog; but if our motive is love to God, no ingratitude can hinder
us from serving our fellow men.
Proverbs
21:3 says, “To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than
sacrifice.”
Father,
please help us find ways to help people, not because they need it, but because we
love you. Amen.
