The Day was bright and brisk, and Ruth and I spent it in Houston with the Harris and Mohr families. It was a wonderful day. We had dinner, the usual turkey with trimmings, and there were two kinds of pie with pieces cut smaller. (I had one slice). Then we spent the rest of the day visiting, relaxing, the boys threw a football for a while, checked the flowers and bushes in the yard. My mother would have used the word Gemuetlich.
The term means relaxed, sort of laid back, easy-going, [I use the term mostly ot irritate Spell Check because it is puzzled and upset when it can’t correct me, and so gets cranky once in a while.].
Even got to watch the Packers and the Lions in glorious color on a wide screen TV. The Packers won. And I thought that used to be the only game on TV and it was played in black and white either at Soldiers Field in Chicago or at Lambeaue Field in Green Bay. That field, by the way, was heated so snow would melt. Often the game was played in snow, and cold weather, always with packed stadiums.
So how was your day?
In this day when so much seems to be going wrong in the world, with troubles and disasters, we pause to give thanks, not only for the material blessings we have, but mostly for the Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins. And the judgment we so richly deserved was paid in full by that death. Blessed are we, the world’s light, placed there by our loving, caring, God.
To Him be the glory, the thanks and praise, now, and ever. Amen.
