Good Morning!
It is 2 a.m. and I am wide awake. Figured God has something important to share with me this morning. Why would he wake me up this early? I asked Him to cover everyone with his finest favor. What a blessing that is! I am not very good at waiting! Today is no exception.
John has a doctor's appointment this morning. He is having some issues with his blood pressure. He worries about everything. He usually starts the morning out with a list of things for me to do. I don't like to be told what to do. :) Most of the time it is a waste of time for him to do that. I love him dearly so try to ignore it as much as possible. Great place to share this little story with you. It is a true story! Relationships are not my best characteristic. Character assassination has been a two way street, the results of many by-gone relationship in my life. Maybe that is why, I write. I can share my true character in words. Anyhow............here I go. I asked God why some of my past relationships don't continue. A few minutes later, I read this: You have always been a handful. Those relationships were not your people. When I shared that with my high school friend of 55 years, she laughed. I laughed. My God has an awesome sense of humor. Yes, I have always been a handful and that is the way God needed me to be. I am thankful that He watches over my friendships and relationships. He gives and takes away!
John and I are very different. We have always been complete opposites. It is a good thing and part of God's perfect plan. We have endured the blessings of 52 years (soon to be 53) together. We have had some wonderful times together. We have laughed and dreamed with compassion and faith. We still see things completely different. I have been unpacking my casket and he has been filling his up. He has amazing projects going on and always finishes them. I have hundreds of projects going and don't always finish them. I live for today and he plans for the future. He loves football and I could care less. He plays card games on the computer and I spend time generating new ideas. I haven't told him about writing a book. He would look at that as dollar signs and I look at that as an accomplishment. I guess, by now you get the picture. I am a handful.... forever! :) Confession time is over.
The word for the day is Waiting! According to Merriam-Webster online dictionary it means to stay in place, with expectation. Waiting your turn, pause, to be ready and available were just a few of the words associated with Waiting.
The verse is: Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD. Psalm 27:14
The promise for today is: An everlasting city awaits you, for I am not ashamed to be called your God. Hebrews 11:16
Only one relationship really matters and that is the one I have with Jesus. I am thankful for having Jesus as my best friend. I can trust Him in all things. If your looking for a friend, let me tell you all about Jesus.
Please pray for my 10 year old great nephew in Ohio. His name is Zach. He has been in the hospital for a month. He had a bone marrow transplant. Cover him in prayer and pray for my sister's grandson and family to find courage in the waiting times.
Looking at the sofa for a quick power nap. Have a blessed day!
Love is in the ink.
