random thoughs

I just looked outside and it is snowing. I think they said a dusting but no accumulation. Looks like accumulation out there to me, but I'm not a weather man. I don't think I have what it takes to be a weatherman. The weather never interested me much. My brother on the other hand could be one. Growing up I remember many times watching he check out the weather. For some reason it has always been something that interested him. Now it might be because he likes to fish, and maybe he checks it out to see if the weather is right for fishing. Just a guess on my part and I could totally be wrong on that one. But it would not be the first time I was ever wrong. I've gotten used to being wrong since it's something that I do so well. I recall hearing someone say what ever you do, do it well. Getting things wrong seems to be something I do very well. And I do excel in that I must admit. I'm not proud of the fact that I get things wrong. Just used to it. But this is the way that God made me and I know that he is proud of me so I guess it's high time that I start accepting that and start being proud of myself. That is one thing that is hard. I'm guessing that I am not the only one who has this struggle. I'm sure that many, well most people don't want to accept the way that they are. I know that February is coming to a close and maybe this is not the best time to start a "new years" resolution. But perhaps I need to accept the way that I am and be happy for just being alive. I have so many things to be thankful for, My beautiful wife, A warm place to sleep at night, A good job, wonderful friends. And I owe all of this to God. Without him I could have none of these things. He's proud of me. I mean I am his kid. I'm sure there are plenty of times he could just take off his belt and wear me out for being bad. But he doesn't. He just loves me. It's a very hard concept to understand. I mean there are people in my life that it takes all I have to love them. But I have to. I can't wait till we get to heaven so we can "understand it better by and by" (as the song goes). It's gonna be great. There are a lot of things in this life that I just do not understand. I'm sure that when we do get over there he will let us in on what was going on. Life is so hard to understand some times. And yet when we communicate with each other we can sometimes find out that things we are going through some how mirrors what our friends, family or co-workers are going through. I refuse to belief that this is a coincidence. I know that God puts people in our life to share and help us get through the tough stuff. This is boot camp people. The best is yet to come.

Blessings till I post again.
