March 31st

Today is the last day of March, 2016. We will never see this day again. Oh, we will see the DATE but not the DAY. Hopefully I will remember it as being special. It is a sunny day and warming up so that is memorable. I have mailed a cheque out to my daughter to cover some costs for an accident I had with their vehicle. Even with the best of intentions, things go wrong! It definitely did for me that day! Rain played havoc with my new glasses and driving a new car! Needless to say, it did not end well.

Today, however, is a new day. I will remember writing the cheque and mailing it. And while doing so, I saw the most beautiful jet stream. It started in the north and made an arc to the far south. I was out in time to actually still see the jet itself and the beautiful stream it made!  Reminds me that we all leave an 'impression' or footprint in our life. What will it look like? I am hoping mine is as beautiful as the jetstream! It followed a path, remained constant, left a beautiful residue and blended into the atmosphere eventually. I don't want my trail to 'blend away' but I do want my life to be remembered as blending a combination of goodness, hopefulness, trustfulness and faithfulness (my word for 2016) mixture to people's lives!

Psalm 36:5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds!!
