one more year

my entry in the notebook in our cabin at world's end

Another year, following tradition. Another year enjoying the close company of dear family. Coming here has been a part of my life; every year, just one of the events that simply is, no questions asked. But despite the regularity of it in my life, every year I am stuck anew with the awesome realization that I am a small speck in all of God’s marvelous creation. Yet such a feeling is calming because if all the world is in His control, despite the bears wandering around our cabins, the violent thunderstorm which was awesome but scary with the threat of a tornado, and health issues hanging over our heads, I will be just fine.
