What IS it about then? (If it’s not about ME?) ;-)

It was good to be back in church today.  And after church we strolled around “The Glen” ( a local shopping area), drank a latte, looked at books in the bookstore then split some appetizers at a restaurant.  My son went to Great America so it was just the husband and myself.

Once we had finished doing all of that, we went back home and both daughters and their husbands and my granddaughter came over to go swimming.  We did that then I made a dinner of huge gorgeous burgers, corn, and cauliflower.  After we all ate, my granddaughter and I sat and read some books about Jesus then we played games. 

When everybody left it felt so quiet and peaceful.

The day was good in its way.  I have been thinking about a lot of things and about a lot of people. I wonder about so much. I wonder a lot about Jesus and about God but I feel as if, with more meditation and thought about the Bible, that I’m getting some things in better perspective.  I have a problem with constantly forgetting that everything is not about being happier in this world.  That’s not the goal.  My problem, sometimes, is that I think that’s the goal I need to aim for myself and everybody else and I become so unhappy with other’s unhappiness and my own.  Maybe God has other things in mind.
