What’s consumed my time lately?  …thought you’d never ask.  Hospital visits have never been one of my favorite things to do, but this one is different; my wife is there, recovering from a knee replacement.  I know, I know, I’m not unique.  Lots of people’s spouses have them.  So I’ve logged hours driving to the hospital and keeping her company.  Do I mind?  No way.  Even there she’s good company.  I hope she thinks I am.

The lesson?  For me, a lesson in giving; time, encouragement, love,

I’m also re-learning that it takes effort to be consistent and keeping to a schedule.  The Psalmist committed himself to the morning as he said “But I will sing of your strength.  In the morning I will sing of your love, for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble”.   It’s a case of balancing needs with proper preparation for the day.
