With everything that has happened in the last few months, it has put a lot of things into perspective for me. I promise to no longer take my family for granted. I will take the time to enjoy the little moments in my life that normally would make me want to pull out my hair. I will be more grateful for what I have and worry less about what I don't.
It was very hard to be in Missouri and see my dad. He seemed to me that he was trying very hard to go about his normal life. I know that he is doing that for us. I know that he is doing that to keep his spirits and hopes high. I also know that most of the things my dad does are for us. He is such an incredible man. I have mad faith that the Lord is healing my dad. I know that our family is an eternal one. I am grateful for that knowledge.

I am so very moved by your blog. Ron is a beloved man and I'm sure very deserving of it. When I found out that Ron was ill, I couldn't say much but sit and cry. Ron is a man amongst men. He saw me across the parking lot at Wal Mart one day about a year ago and I had one of my grandsons with me. He insisted on putting my groceries in the car while I put the baby in the car. Most men I see today open the door in front of a woman, just to let it slam in their face. An absoloute MAN amongst mere men. I admire your family. My family is very loving too and close, but when you get as many people within a family as you do, it is hard to remain in harmony. I always feel the love of your family unit when I am near you all. That comes from love, faith, trust and hope.
ReplyDeleteI heard a song by Third Day that reminds me of the hope that God gives us and the promises that he has given. We shall not be given any burden too hard to bear. Ask and ye shall receive and if you have the faith...pure faith the size of a mustard seed, you could move mountains, nothing would be impossible. I am standing on that faith for a full healing. I am adding the lyrics to this song because it made me think of you and I hope it inspires you like it inspired me. It's about the walk with God and how he sustains you.
"Follow Me There"
You need a place where you can find some shelter
Follow me there, follow me there
You want a hand to hold, someone to help you
Follow me there, come on, follow me there
Where love, like a river, flows
Peace like you've never known
And joy never ending lives
A place where faith can find
Hope that will never die
Follow me there, come on, follow me there
You need a place to be your sanctuary
Follow me there, come on, follow me there
Where you can lay down all those burdens you carry
Follow me there, come on, follow me there
Where the lost can find salvation
And the lonely finds a friend
Where the sinner finds forgiveness
Won't you follow me there
Won't you follow me there
I will continue to pray for your family, for strength and healing. I extend my hand to any of your family members for anything they may need. I will follow you there.
