Psalm 118:6 Dear Lord, Thank you so much that you are always with me. Thank you for reminding me that I don’t need to be afraid because you’re there, watching over me. Thank you that you are far greater than anything that could happen to me in this world, and I need only trust in you. Amen 詩篇118:6 親愛なる主よ、 あなたがいつも私と共にいてくださることを心から感謝します。あなたがそこにいて、私を見守っていてくださるので、恐れる必要がないことを思い出させてくださりありがとうございます。あなたはこの世で私に起こりうるどんなことよりもはるかに偉大な方であり、私はただあなたを信じるだけでよいことを感謝します。 アーメン
I read yesterday about the Post Office consolidating and closing some facilities, which kind of makes me sad because I use the Post Office a lot for mailing my books.
But then I thought about it--I don’t actually use the Post Office, I use the US Postal Service. I have a program and monthly subscription with Endicia.com to allow me to print postage from my computer. That way I can print up postage whenever I need to, and we drop the mail off at the Post Office whenever we’re out next doing errands, or my husband will drop it off on his way to or from work. It helps out in terms of the time I spend standing in line at the Post Office, and I don’t use up gas to drive down there just to send mail.
I’m sad about the jobs that will be cut because the economy is hurting as it is. And this isn’t really true in my neighborhood, but in Hawaii, the postal workers are a friendly bunch. They’ll chat with you if they happen to see you when they’re delivering mail, they’ll sometimes pick up your stamped packages even if you haven’t filled out an official pick-up notification, and people in Hawaii will usually give gifts to their postal workers for Christmas. It will be sad to have those postal workers out of a job when they contribute so much to the local community.
Are you friendly with your local postal worker?
