Once again Island Thoughts

Just so happens we find ourselves living on this island several months out of each year. Because it is a small island, we find ourselves surrounded by masses of people which takes some getting use to. The driving is bizarre, the weather is HOT and HUMID, the food is spicy and the people are God's creation. It is the people that pull at our heart strings and compel us to make the long journey over and over again. Of course, the people on the other side pull at our heart strings and we find ourselves eager to see them and spend time with them. I often say "there is nothing quite like grandchildren." They are a lot like God, they love you even when you don't deserve it and they bring utter delight to your life. It is sometime possible to feel isolated when you live on an island but the truth is that God never isolates HIMSELF from us, HE is ever present, ever faithful and ever willing to hear our prayers. If you are feeling isolated by circumstances today, just whisper a prayer and HE, the God of all creation, will comfort you and envelope you with HIS love. Remember there are two sides to almost everything! For us it is an island side with those who love us and a USA side filled with those whose love makes our world go around.
