John 15:9-17 Scripture Song - Abide In My Love

My wife has gone to Saskatchewan again. She's there for two weeks, helping her dad recover from his knee surgery yesterday.

I love that we're in a place in life where we can give back to our parents, but it's always a challenge surviving without her. She completes the picture around here, balancing my extremes, adding love and warmth to my life...

But there is one positive. I'm forced to find things to do with my time, and so take opportunities I might otherwise not.

For example, yesterday afternoon I decided to go to Gould Lake Conservation Area, via the back exit on Wagon Trail Road, and record some video with one of my long lenses. I really missed the woods this winter! Unlike past years, I hadn't made many forays into the forest in the cold months!

I sat on the grass, letting the sun shine down on my back, looking for pretty in the nature around me. I hope you like the video I've included above. If you want to see more of my nature recording (some of which not in the lyric video), it's available at this link.

Another example of me pushing a bit out of my comfort zone is going out for dinner with Grace, my oldest daughter. My son Lucas and his wife Sorieda came along, and after a burger, we went to Home Depot to buy some electrical boxes, switches, lights and outlets for their home renovation. Good fun!

Thanks to my friends here, who have been so sweet and generous. It's good to meet the community on Patreon, and I appreciate everyone very much!

Have a lovely weekend!
