Readers Write: Lighter side offers break from troubles of the day

The Island Now

My wife and I have read with interest Judy Epstein’s article entitled, “Looking at the lighter side: Surviving the backyard barbecue.” It’s such a pleasant and interesting article indeed. 

I use personal repellent to repel myself. But, attending to my kids wherever we go is not going to go away for a while. I guess my wife always has it more than I do. Kudos to all moms. 

Judy’s article reminds me about insects and warms, it further reminds me about the worm in the book of Jonah, verses five through 11 of chapter four in the Old Testament, where God provided a worm, which chewed the vine so that it withered over night.

Such a great lesson for all of us indeed. Importantly, there are things to appreciate even in the midst of trouble such as those of mosquitoes or a warm biting. Kudos of God.
