Got the itch to write something! Don't know what yet, just felt like sitting here and getting my thoughts out on paper.

This morning on facebook, I "signed" up for one of those "groups" that send you a daily message "from God." When I read it, I thought it didn't seem pertinent at the time. It talked about "not worrying about the future and getting a good night's sleep tonight...." At 11 am this morning, I had no thoughts of the future so why would I need God's instructions to get a good night sleep and not think about the future?

Things have a a way of changing rapidly some days as we all know. This afternoon, hubby and I took a drive out in the country north of here and went through the wildlife refuge (saw a bobcat by the way). As we were driving back, I asked him to pull into a mobile home park that kind of got us down to Texas in the first place... another long story. Anyway as we were driving around, we saw a very nice mobile home for sale and I wrote down the phone number. Hubby says, "Why don't you call them?" With the luxury of cell phones, I did that and before I knew it we were touring the place. It's turned out as nice inside as outside and then the thinking started.

This mobile home could be a very nice home for my parents to live in as several of the neighbors are from their neck of the woods. This mobile home could be a very nice home for hubby and I to live in if this home gets to be too expensive as we age. This mobile home could be a very nice home to rent to Winter Texans. This mobile home would add extra debt on us.

All of a sudden I do have things to think about that I didn't have this morning. What do we want for our future? What do we expect for our future? Hubby and I have been fortunate in turning over our homes and making a decent profit on them, would we be so lucky again? Well, now that I have these thoughts out on "paper," I'm going to just let me lay down and sleep now, OK God?
