to look outward and inward

Here in northeast Ohio snow fell in the night- all night, I think.  Morning dawned and snow keeps coming. . . coming thick and steady. I suggest to sweet Ivan that he push the white chair to face the window and we'll read and watch. . . we fit snug together on the white chair and listen to the snowy hush- like the snow, I sort of whisper as I read:  The Little House (Burton) and  Mama, Is It Summer Yet? (McClure) and All About Alfie (Hughes) -Ahh, how we love Alfie! I spot a pair of cardinals, the male brilliant against the snowy branch.

I'm visiting our Ohio children and grandchildren all month- in a few weeks John retires and he'll  drive up to join me, visiting family along the way .  . .hmmm,  new things on the horizon.

So, today I pulled out my Colossians study and came to a favorite passage:

If then you have been raised up with Christ keep seeking the things above where Christ is. . .

(Colossians 3: 1-4)

Keep seeking, keep seeking the things above. . . How do I purpose to keep seeking day by day?
I'm thinking of my friend back home and prayed for her. Friend, remember. . .

Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his presence continually. (Psalm 105:4)
