Pensive and Melancholy but Hopeful


Well here we are finally officially over the Christmas holidays. However as of today , the tree still stands. At least for a few more days.

Ok the tree now sits outside , waiting for its final destination , the compost. Its funny how quick you can take it down as compared to putting it up.

I have always become a bit melancholy after Christmas. I really enjoy the Christmas season and having family over,listening to and singing carols . Just everything that goes with the whole season. Plus focusing on the birth of the Savior,Jesus Christ.But when its all over and things return to normal , I feel a bit pensive. Perhaps its because each Christmas , when all your family is with you ,having lost Mom going on 18 years ago and having my wife , diagnosed with cancer over 2 years ago , I realize life is short.

Plus ,as I go into this year without any job prospects , I have to admit feeling like a ship tossed about . But I will trust in the Lord for guidance and lean not on my own understanding .

So 2010 , we shall see what will come, but I hope to glorify God and serve Christ in all that transpires.
