I am so tired of this hot summer, I am looking for winter time to come now. The above picture makes me wish that I was there in that cold country with that fire going. "Oh well" it will be here soon enough and I am sure I will complain about it being too cold. ( I hope not).
This has been a week of emotions for me, and it has been tough. I guess this comes with old age, I'm not sure! My thoughts have been on my grandsons, Luke going into the 2nd grade and Tyler entering High School. I guess I have been emotional over the thoughts of Tyler being introduced to the elements of the world. When I think of what school is like today it just scares the crap out of me. Tyler and Luke are such loving kids, I hope that they stay that way. I wanted so much to sit down with Tyler and just talk. But I know that is for his mom and dad to do. I am very sure that they did but I still wanted to share with him. So, I do the best thing that I can, I pray for them.
I look at the pictures of Tyler and wonder. I wonder when did that little guy on the left grow up to the guy on the right. On the left he was still sitting on my lap at Lake Okeechobee asking questions about fishing. Now on the right you can see that he could teach me. Oh my, where has the time gone, both my daughters are in their forties and Tyler is now going to the High School that both me and my daughters attended.
I look at myself and wonder where is it all going in my life. This past February I have been with the city of Bradenton 50 years. Good lord I did not realize I was that old. But you know what, I am not going to complain for I have been Blessed. I have a great life, a great wife and kids and grand kids. My daughters have married great guys and I have not shot either one of them....Yet! ha.
On the brighter side, college football and HS football starts very soon. It just does not get any better then that this time of the year. Have a Blessed week and be a Blessing to some one.
“I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.” (Psalm 116:1-2)
