Age Does Bring Wisdom

Actually I have always, or at least for the past several years, known that you get wiser as you get older My sister has preached that for years now This was proven correct just yesterday.

For about 20 years or maybe even more, Mate and I have owned two lamps. They are those neat "touch" lamps. Just turn over and touch it and it comes on, two more touches and it goes off. I remember buying them. $19.95 at Walmart. I think that they still sell the same ones and I don't think that they are much more than that. They have sat by the side of our bed all these years.

The lamps have a quirk. When the electricity blinks, they come on. For all this time we would wake up and touch two more times and they would go off and we would go back to sleep. Not rocket science, just touch and sleep.

On Thursday night in Wichita Falls, we had spectacular lightening strikes, all night long. Thankfully, our electricity did not go off for any extended period of time, just blinked probably twelve different times. Twelve different times we woke and touched two more times.

Friday morning at breakfast we discussed lack of sleep. Light then went on without touching anything! We can unplug the lamps.

Life is sort of like that. What you think is a pressing, maybe insurmountable problem often times has a very simple solution. We tend to overlook the obvious and make things more difficult than they really are. So simple to talk to the Master and ask His help. Hard part is waiting for the answer. Like unplugging the lamp.
