Both were and are carpenters. Time is God's, and I'm considering all as present moment these days, as best I can in my utter humanness.
Exhausted today with pain but yet keeping going. A daughter, her husband, and grandson were here for a week--took their vacation week to come and help do some tasks around here. The stairway (to heaven, in essence even if not substance) is completed other than some holes to fill and to try to tighten up the oil rubbed bronze, solid iron balusters.
I've been doing all manner of touch up work which takes far longer than I ever anticipate. There are many facets to finish carpentry, painting, and tiling.
Plus, I still deal with the aftermath of the "flight from the stairway to heaven"--the brain bleeds, pain from impact, and shoulder that was affected and remains a lingering, bodily problem.
Yet we must continue on, doing our best, striving to keep going with the attitude of all for God, or omnia pro Deo.
Just wanted to check in and let you readers know that I am thinking of you, praying for you, and hopefully before too much longer will return to more thoughtful--hopefully spiritually meaningful--and yet still temporally applicable sharing of the ups and downs of life as a person, Catholic hermit in the consecrated life of the Church, and also very much a sinner who seems to be not much improving as is said fine wines improve with time....
Yet, the Lord is with me--arranged for someone to spontaneously be offered, to do the stump grinding in the front yard.
Efforts are well under way in the temporal transition which also will be very much and primarily spiritual transition--a metamorphosis from one phase to the next, whatever that next is.
I shall find out, either in this realm or the next wherever the Lord has set for me, just as He does for each of you!
Tomorrow morning the couple from the parish bring the Eucharist again, and I am more than eager and ready to partake of His Real Presence in tangible form, even if I know I am with, through, and in Him as we all are, in every present moment of earthly and heavenly existence for all eternity!
