Early Saturday morning (12:15 am) I arrived in camp ready to get up at 5 am to go to work. I did not expect to get called back to work until after the Thanksgiving weekend since I had been off for 11 days and this camp job was not busy. I am not sure how long this stint will last. I was busy at Ben's cutting and fitting baseboards when I was called to work.
I left Nipawin just before 4 in the afternoon and knew that I had to drive through some very desolate highway at dusk and into the night. On my journey to camp I saw 27 deer and twice had to brake for deer crossing in front of my truck and once the deer appeared in front of the truck so fast I did not even have a chance to brake. Fortunately that deer was the last of three and had the sense to keep on running. I praise God for His mercy in not hitting those deer and not having any flat tires or mechanical trouble. I arrived at camp which is 7 km off the main highway and has no street lights, and in the midnight darkness saw a million stars. I have never seen a sky with so many visible stars. A sight like that must drive the believer to worship and the unbeliever to believe there is a God. "The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands." (Psalm 19.1)
Tonight we had Thanksgiving Supper at camp. It would have been nice to be with Gloria and family, and friends. I want to wish everyone a gratitude filled Thanksgiving weekend. Let us Praise God for Who He is and for what He has done, and for what He will yet do in fulfilling His purposes. Praise the Lord. Rejoice in the Lord. In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.
