TOMOKO PICTS

I am an MK (missionary kid) and mother of two grown children. Altho' my husband is Japanese (from Koriyama), and we speak Japanese at home, my education (elementary-university) has been in English, so most of my reading and writing is in English too. Last year, we moved to Okinawa and now live in the house my Dad built. I was born in Okinawa--it's been a long time, but I've come home...at last. 2025 August posts are publications put out by wildlife of a Saitama park in 2019.

Evening Walk (written Nov. 2010)

I guess my blood pressure was low for my doctor's appointment today; he encouraged me to get out walking whenever it was warm.  My last visit, when my blood pressure was good, he told me not to worry about getting out since it was getting cold.  And it's much colder now than last month.  Oh well.

So I decided to take the long way around and get in a 30-minute walk today.  When I started out, it was brighter, but by the time I got near home, it started getting pretty dark.  But the lamps on the side of the path came on automatically and gave me a pretty view, something I hadn't seen before.

Sometimes, when things don't "look right" at first glance, I guess God just wants us to trust Him for leading and blessing--the darkness and light are both alike to Him, after all.
