Christmas

So.  I was going to say there's no way to be pessimistic at Christmas but that's just not true.  Not when you are a pro like me. 

So here's a positive thought that comes from countering the negatives which is what this blog is about.

Having a home at Christmas is a huge blessing.  A very tangible, current world blessing.  Many people dont have a home or a place to live.  So I'm very thankful that God has given me a place to live.

That's my thought for today.

I've had nothing for a really long time

Ah, here.  I think I just thought of something.

For the past five years I've been in a really difficult living situation.  Like, the stress is so bad my hair is falling out difficult.  I thought that God was keeping me here because there was something He was trying to winnow out of me.  You know, burning away the chaff.  It dawned on me last week because of something I read that it may not be me He is trying to work on.  It's possible I'm in this situation because He is working on the other person.

Most likely it's both of us He's trying to refine.  Let's hope it's finished before I have a heart attack or stroke or something.
