The Time and Place in Which I Live

With the click of a few buttons on any device, I can view thousands of Biblical references, Bible translations, and study materials within a matter of seconds.

Should I become ill, within a matter of minutes I can receive the best medical care from some of the best medical professionals anywhere in the world.

When something weird was going on with my eye, I was diagnosed, received treatment, and returned home to recover within a matter of hours.

With one thumb, I can select any number of television shows, movies, documentaries, music videos, and sporting events from the comfort of my living room, public transportation, or any number of other locations.

When I want to hear the voices or see the faces of my children, grandchildren, and friends, I can connect with them in a matter of seconds.

When I need to receive or send information to or from someone in another city, state, or country, I can do so within minutes.

If I want to know the news of the day, the weather, or the results of the latest sporting events, I can pull the information up on my phone, television, computer or simply ask Siri or Alexa.

When I get hungry, I can walk a few feet, open the refrigerator, and have a delicious snack or meal (healthy or not is my choice) with fresh clean water or any number of other beverages within a few minutes.

When I want to share information with you, such as this A Norvell Note, I have the ability to type these words on a computer, store them in the Cloud, and send them through cyberspace to be read by anyone.

All these things and more are within my grasp. Not because I’m wealthier, smarter, more talented, or more deserving than anyone else. I have these options and opportunities because of the time and place in which I live.

I do not share them to boast. I share them because I’m thankful for the time and place in which I live. I am blessed. Richly blessed! Blessed beyond anything I could have ever asked for or imagined.
