So here's the short of it,
What a sleepy day.
And here's the long
This morning I woke up feeling a bit of nausea. I did exactly what all the doctors and nurses have been telling me to do, and took a dose of medicine. I wasn't nauseated - but I've slept almost all day long!
Alan is leaving in the morning for a visit with Shelley and Lou and Max, our first grandchild. A few months ago, we were planning this to be a trip we would take together. I'm sad that I can't go - but am glad that he is going.
I'm planning to take it easy - not get into anything heavy!
Dear Lynn,
ReplyDeleteI’d like to share an entry with you from Streams in the Desert, a daily devotional that I rely heavily upon. My prayer is that it will strengthen you today.
Glorify ye the Lord in the fires. (Isaiah 24:15 KJV)
Notice the little word “in”! We are to honor the Lord in the trial~ in the very thing that afflicts us. And although there are examples where God did not allow His saints to even feel the fires, usually the fire causes pain.
It is precisely there, in the heat of the fire, we are to glorify Him. We do this by exercising perfect faith in His goodness and love that has permitted this trial to come upon us. Even more, we are to believe that out of the fire will arise something more worthy of praise to Him than had we never experienced it.
To go through some fires will take great faith, for little faith will fail. We must win the victory in the furnace.
….This is the real triumph~ triumphing over sickness in it, triumphing over death in dying, and triumphing over other adverse circumstances in them. Believe me, there is a power that can make us victors in the conflict.
There are heights we can reach where we can look back over the path we have come and sing our song of triumph on this side of heaven. We can cause others to regard us as rich, while we are poor, and make many rich in our poverty. We are to triumph in it. ~ Margaret Bottome
May you rest securely in the comforting arms of our Heavenly Father today, sure in the knowledge of His great love for you.
Love,
Vicki
