This evening is phenomenon. The sky is showing off a really bright sun, and a bird perched a top a pole is obviously enjoying the warmth of nature. I watched it spread it’s wings and make several turns while sitting on the pole for quite some time. The sinking sun was going down over the housetop across my alley, but the heat was still reaching out to warm the lively hood. My faith was beginning to click in, and I felt so close to God. I know I can’t predict the future, but I also know the future is in God’s hands. I almost feel as if I’m on a roller coaster. Positive one day, and negative the next. I am holding on to a strong anchor, and I am sure I will not sink if I have to give up another loved one in my family. Money cannot buy the peace I have at this time. Today started off so nicely, but after a couple of hours of hefty exercise getting in and out of the car taking care of business, and making a visit to the doctor, Rick has since been lying down. His food intake has been very low today. His strength has not returned, but he has just been out of the hospital for three days. I feel sure he will be better tomorrow. He reminds me so much of his dad, and my husband, till I am feeling blessed to have him in my care.
I have put a few things I was daily involved in on hold, but I expect to be back to normal in a few days. I do want to thank everyone who have been praying for us. I certainly can feel the strength from those faithful words you are saying to Jesus. And to Jan, a friend I met while Rick was in the hospital at Fort Worth, I am feeling the effect of your prayers. You were so encouraging, and I believe God sent me an angel when we met up at the cafeteria. I am still praying for your sister. Today my heart was also warmed by friend’s smiles, and hello’s while I was with Rick on his business trips. God does have a way of keeping us strong and up lifted. I will praise Him all the rest of my life.
Tomorrow will be a day of resting for Rick. He has a few things to do on the computer, but will not have to be out running around. I have faith to believe he can catch up on all the important business he has had to let go for several weeks. Little by little he will get everything back under control. Insurance is a big hassle for him at this time. Since his retirement last April he has had to get new insurance. He was lucky enough to sign on with a great company, but he thinks after the first of the year he will have to change. Everyone is having trouble keeping insurance these days, according to Rick’s doctor. I am so glad I do not have to worry about mine since I am on Medicare. My golden years are good for something.
God Bless
