"It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look." Francis of Assisi

Gloomy, anxious, irritable and unpleasant to be around.  That is me today.  Granted we have some reasons to be sad.  A friend of Daniel's who always made him laugh passed suddenly last Friday.  Seems so many good ones have gone lately. But sadness and grief are not the same as self centeredness.  Feeling distracted and unable to focus on what needs to be done before Belize next week. Probably gave some chilling looks.  Blaming (secretly) everybody for not helping more and everything for not going right up to and including solar flares and global warming.  Well, maybe not global warming. What I really need is to recognize His Sufficiency and Grace.  What I really need is to remember to spend time listening for His still small voice.  I need the faith and innocence of a child.  Apparently like this child.
