This is devotional number 6500. That’s a lot of evenings sitting here staring at the computer screen. One would think about now I would run out of things to write about but life is so very interesting there usually is something. Someone asked me if I have ever repeated myself. I’m sure I have. I just can’t remember what all 6500 of them are about. Once in a while people ask me why I don’t write a book. I have. It has 6500 pages and adding.
I am excited that today’s devotional can be a celebration of something fun. Last week my wife and I were in a farm store. It is fun to look at all the things farmers use. On the way out my wife noted they were having a drawing so she filled out the slip and put it in the box. This afternoon they called. We won the grand prize. Now that is very awesome because this very week I was going to start splitting my pile of firewood for the winter. Guess what we won. A log-splitter. I couldn’t believe the timing and the blessing. This past week I put a new handle in my axe in preparation for a lot of swinging. That axe is going to feel neglected as I just push the button and watch. I hope we have a really cold winter because I am going to have a lot of wood to burn.
When I was very little I learned “my cup runneth over.” It does and with something so much more special than a log-splitter. I am surrounded by wonderful family and friends like you who once in a while read some of the 6500 devotionals.
