Mercy Anew Each Morning
|
Dear Faithful Friends, Not much new to report. (For ease and perhaps security, I'm going to use the terms Mama G., Daddy G. Big Sis and Lil' Sis from here on out). That Mama G. has come this far is a HUGE blessing and praise. She's still stable. We haven't had any calls through the night and at this point, no news is good news. There is still the ability to communicate slightly which is amazing and I'm sure the greatest comfort to Daddy G. Lil' Sis went to the hospital yesterday for the first time to visit Big' Sis. Daddy was with them as well and again showed such wisdom from the Lord as he spent sweet time with his girls and gently prepared little hearts for an uncertain future. It's a bit like peeling an onion, layer by layer, and the Lord is equipping him perfectly. I stayed home with my little brood and took a nap! I have had trouble resting deeply this week and the Lord gifted me with not only a lovely nap, but also a great night's sleep next to my sweety! Yes, Darren came home safely around 8 pm last night from his grandfather's funeral. He was scheduled to leave right away for J-lem for work (the General he works for is in town) but after re-packing and going to the Embassy to collect all he needed for the near week away, he decided to sleep in his own bed and get up early this morning to go. What a sweet blessing. I felt like I could curl up under his protective covering and sleep with abandon all night. Samuel woke once to eat, but that's sweetness to my soul (so long as we only get up once;-) So, for this morning, please pray for the following: ~Continued healing of Mama G.'s body-head to toe ~Great wisdom from the doctors (Israel has some of the finest, so she is in great hands) ~Continued wisdom, stamina and comfort for Daddy G. ~That the "what if..." and "if only I..." questions would be thrown away where they belong. ~Continued peace, joy and well, down-right fun, for Lil' Sis ~I'm hoping to visit with Mama G. in the next couple of days (and Grace with Big Sis)- that I would bring words of comfort and encouragement that she needs to hear. I firmly believe Mama G. is more aware of what is going on around her than her body can show right now. My emotions certainly need to be capped when I visit with her and comfort lavished. ~ Travel arrangements and good health to her parents and Daddy G'.s mom as they begin to try to make their way sometime this week. Illness and other issues have made it impossible to travel immediatly. This delay must be torture... So, that's all I can think of for this morning. I can't tell you how much we all appreciate and feel your prayers. My ability to rest and feel completely refreshed this morning should alone encourage you that He is using your prayers for great blessing!! Well, I'm off to make Cinnamon Stickies for a big breakfast. We decided to have a big breakfast and family worship to shield Lil' Sis just a bit longer from the extended community. I hear rustling in the kitchen so I'd best get to it!! Love and thankfulness to you all, maggie |
