Mark and I have enjoyed the weekend and are very thankful for my improved health. We have enjoyed a weekend of friends and family. I am planning on returning to work tomorrow and hope I can have clear sailing until my surgery July 14.
I know everything happens for a reason (s). I am even more a believer now than before. My eyes have been opened to see God in everything I encounter. I am thankful for lessons learned always but those I have learned recently seem nearer and dearer. I would like to name just a few in no particular order. The role of a care giver should never ever be viewed as easy. Next to God our families should be the most important priority in life. I should never take the power of a card, call or visit to someone feeling poorly for granted. A touch can bring you to tears. Everyone deserves my time, my prayers and smile. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Tell others the way you feel about them daily not just in a crunch. We all want to be loved And to love. Helping others is the rent we pay for living on earth. A phone call from a friend can change your day. Understanding and truth will set me free. Forgiving is setting myself free. A simple kind gesture makes all the difference in the world. No one gets up and plans on making mistakes, accept the lesson, learn and move on.
My brother and sister-in-law are in Armenia visiting my nephew Jesse. Jesse has been there the last two years in the Peace Corps teaching. Jesse will be coming back to the States in August and Mike and Nancy wanted to visit him and site see. Please keep them in your prayers.
I am guilty of thinking oh nothing is going to happen to me, I will die of an old age. Ahh, I am not thinking that way much anymore. I am not afraid of passing away, but I want to live right now and enjoy the right now. As always I invite everyone to be in the moment with me.
I often wondered when I would mature enough to be the Christian I should be. You know we have watched certain women in the church that seem to be the prime example of what a Christian should be and they usually seem to be older women. Well sometimes God puts things in our lives that pushes us to get to where we need to be. Sometimes these things are unwanted but He knows what He is doing. He has helped us both and we thank him for that. I will continue praying for you and I know God will take care of you my friend.
