First of all, I am thankful for the
Word:
Isa. 43:
(which sez in essence)..."Thus says the LORD, who created you, and
formed you, Fear not; for I have called you by YOUR name, Margaret, thou art
mine."
Also in Rom 8 vs 38
& 39: "Nothing shall be able to separate us from the Love of God."
Family and friends:
Friday I heard Greg’s nice
, strong, voice say:
"This has been a good day, Mom, I walked to
dialysis, had a good dialysis, and then walked home."
(For once in
a very long time he was in charge of what he did that day, instead of having to
wait for someone else to come and take him where he needed to go.) This
is only in answer to the many prayers that have been sent heavenward....by our
wonderful family and friends!!
Then as I was thinking
about family and friends, I thought about how we teach our children to believe
and pray. V.P. was always praying about someone or something.
I remembered
something that made me smile, even years later...V.P. was very young,
they were driving to have a picnic and it started to rain...he just looked out
the window and prayed, “Lord, make it
stop raining so we can have a nice picnic.”
Shara Jo, who was
sitting in her car seat, with her 'cho-cho' in her mouth said, "Heth
not gonna do it!" He did, and we laughed...does that make you
smile too?
Oh, for the faith of a
child , and special, 'you bet'! What a reason to be thankful!!!
For the diligence in Barbara and Vince, in teaching them to pray!!
As I was sitting
thinking about all the things that made me happy and thankful, yep, Clifford
brought me my first cup of coffee, just like I like it. (The night before
when I couldn't sleep he spent a long time rubbing my back to help me sleep...it
worked...I am so blessed.) I am REALLY blessed with my sweet considerate
husband!!
I am so aware of all the
people in our lives who are prayer warriors, and have been praying for years,
about you Greg, and our situation. When I posted the blog, just after I got
home from Spokane, when I was soooooo discouraged, and you were too, Lolly said
we had 47 hits that day on the Blog. People, friends...they do care and
we are blessed!!!
Perhaps I am most
thankful for what God is teaching me, thru this blog. I am having to
come to grips with reality--not just my own dreams and wants. God has a
plan for each of us, and it doesn't look anything like what we think!
God wants us to know and see (eventually) what He has planned for each of us,
for eternity. As they say, we need to keep the Main Thing, the Main
Thing!!
I am truly a blessed
woman, with many dear special friends who care....a lot! I just did a
thing in the blog about the Body, and where would we be, Greg, without Christ’s
body of special people that He placed in
our lives. Every one of them were intentionally placed there by our
Heavenly Father, for such a time as this...*smile*
Hang in there, hang on
tight...and we will meet you here, there or in the air.
(The way things look,
the AIR part is getting closer and closer!!) *smile*
As Forrest Sr. said,
'well, you didn't come today, maybe you will come tonight.'
Christ tells us to look
up, for our Redemption draws near!!
Cray, 'look up!'
