Another Day In Paradise

Another day in paradise. My own little chunk of the world located in Western Kentucky. I am constantly amazed that such a place exists in the middle of "nowhere". Green Turtle Bay in Grand Rivers, Kentucky.

We have satellite and have had cable for years and years. I know what life is like in other parts of the US. I've been to the Caribbean. Now that's a beautiful place. The colors are what get to me. The bluest blues, the greenest greens and painted houses in hues of the rainbow. But back to the story. I used to sob and feel sorry for myself, "stuck" here in the middle of a culturally barren land (so I thought then). I now know that this was God's vision for me, the perfect, secure, beautiful place for me. And I am grateful. And I am so blessed by His awesome foresight for my life.

The houses aren't painted here, but the sky can be really blue and the clouds can be white and puffy on a summer day. The boats on the water coming and going, some from as far away as Austrailia and France, Germany have passed through here on their way to southern parts. So many really nice people from all over the world have been on this property. It's really amazing.
When I see what is going on in the world, I am really, really grateful to be here. I love this community and the "smallness" of it while the "bigness" still touches the world via the waterway. I can sit here and view the world from my snug little harbor. I feel cradled in God's hand. I know that sounds sappy, but I do feel that way today. Now, check back with me in a few months when we are busy, busy, busy and I might feel a bit differently, stressed and hurried. But right now, today, it's off-season, slow, and wintery and I'm enjoying the quiet time.
