I'm at home on this Sunday morning at 10:35 a.m. because I am only 4 days post-op. The surgery on Wednesday went well, if the evidence so far is indicative. Thank You that I don't have very much pain at all.
Uncle John's wake is today, and his funeral and burial are tomorrow. Mom is on her way with Terri and Angie to southern New Jersey. Please give them especially safe travel with the wind and the rain. Mom gets so anxious. I just drifted over to her FB page to ensure that Philippians 4:6-7 was posted there. I hope she sees it. Will You bring it to her attention? Having sat through the seminar on anxiety with the psychologist who almost certainly was a Christian, I understand a little more that she has been programmed, hard-wired, to respond to life anxiously. Please calm her. Bless her. She is a very loving woman, although bossy and difficult at times. :)
My girls.... What have I done to deserve them? That's the point, I think. I don't deserve them. Thank You for claiming their lives at a young age.
Amy: what a ministry she has going on down in TJ. She is learning so much about sharing her life and her faith through "lifestyle evangelism." I don't even know what to ask for her, except the usual motherly things like safety and health. Please open the hearts of the people--both kids and adults--at the orphanage to Your leaving Your home in glory (hardly like Holden!) to live among us and bring us the fantastic news of God's love for us.
Julie: her ministry at Fordham is no less important. She has such a heart to serve the children of the city. Please guide her in the Jump Start program with the preschoolers and the civics class with the high schoolers. She's my social worker, although I don't think she knows it yet. :) Protect her, too, in the city. Please set at least one brawny angel to guard her and to demonstrate to the forces of darkness that You will not allow her to be hurt as she goes about Your work. Keep her up-to-date in her studies. Keep her faith in You strong.
My husband! Thank You!! He's at church, hopefully hearing the sermon and not having to intervene too much in the running of Junior Church. Please give him strength, stamina, and insight into the work problem that he is trying to solve. Thank You for giving me a partner with whom to serve You. We've had a pretty great year in which to celebrate our 25 years of marriage. He is the right choice for me, and I thank You that I waited for him. :)
Okay, I am going to write on Paul's blog for a bit, then I think I'll go get ready for George to come home. There is much more, no? MOPS...Junior Church...work.... All about You, Jesus! For Your sake~Amen.
