Good Morning,
I am leaving to hunt ducks again in a little while. I will be filling my Thermos Bottle with Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee and enjoying it in the cold morning air.
Ecclesiastes 3:4 A time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.
My wife and I are looking forward to a family weekend in November. Our only niece is getting married that weekend and our small family will hopefully all be together for a couple of days. Just thinking about it makes me smile. As I age these get togethers seem to mean more and more to me.
It's hard to fit all the things we hope to do and say into one weekend. It will be nice just to have all of us in one building and not for a funeral. My wife Rene said something that should never be said to an old tough guy. "You are getting sentimental!" I refuse to admit it and there is no way I am getting sappy in my old age. Real men do not shed tears. If by chance our eyes begin to leak, it is from terminal hay fever.
So my thought for the day is this. Don't hesitate to gather together, especially for celebrations. Don't wait for a funeral to get together. There is one person less at those.
God bless,
Marty
