I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing. ... Every good thing I have comes from you.... Without you, I have nothing good." Psalm 16:2
Flora did a great job of reporting on the past week in ICU. If my view stays only on this room it is easy to fall into discouragement. I need to remember that the visible progress that we can see now was in the making on the days when it was hidden from view.
Another way to view the current situation, when I am tempted to wonder if God "stepped out for a bit" is to choose to see Him at work loving us through other people....
- friends replacing the battery in our car in preparation for selling it
- a neighbor noticing our garage door was broken and stepping in to fix it
- cards and visits from friends, even after almost eight months. Their faithfulness mirrors who God is.
- frequent checking in from LTAC staff and Dr Krause monitoring from there, assisting in trying to get insurance to agree about his return
- another friend offering to help me straighten out my network that won't recognize my email accounts
- a home cooked meal at an old friends house last night
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17
Love to all,
Nancy
