The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage came the other day and said, “I'm
going shopping, would you like to come with me?” 

Usually, I have no way of getting out of going shopping with her. But
the heat spell has given me a good excuse. “Oh my dear,” I said rather 
sadly, “I would love to but it's just too hot out there for me and I 
cannot handle all that heat. I'm so sorry.” 

Looking at me with one of her smiles, I knew what she was thinking. That
was, I was using the heat spell to get out of going somewhere shopping 
with her. Although she loves shopping, it is certainly not one of my 
favorite activities. 

As she went out the door, I said rather quickly, “Don't forget to get me
some Klondike bars. I'm getting low on them.” 

Looking back at me as she walked through the door, she said, “Well, if
you were with me I probably would remember.” 

When she left, I got a cup of coffee and went to my easy chair to sit
and think about the morning. Sometimes, the most important thing in 
life is having a good excuse for not doing something. 

When I think about the seasons of the year, everyone has something good
to say about it. And, every one has something bad about it. I'm trying 
to learn to focus on the good aspects of a season. If I focus on the 
bad aspects, it just gets me down. 

Every bad aspect has a good slant to it. My challenge is finding that
good slant and using it for pleasure. 

I thought of a verse in the bible that addresses this. Psalm 31:14-15 -
“But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God. My times are 
in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them 
that persecute me.” 

No matter my circumstances, I can trust God for my time today, tomorrow
and forever. Spring comes, Spring goes but nothing changes as far as 
God is concerned. I'm in His hands.
