Tomorrow is the big day when my husband's mother moves in.  We have been preparing for this for some time now, but of course we still aren't really ready.  We don't have adequate heat to her quarters although we are much closer to being finished with what needs to happen to have adequate heat.   And after praying and talking to about 3 different people my dh finally found someone who actually got here and cut our the side of the tub so she will be able to walk into the tub and use it.  He is now in the process of finished off the cut out place so it looks good and cannot cut anyone. 

She of course has been preparing for longer and has her things packed.  I am sure there are a few odds and ends that will just be thrown into a box.  But here we are.  Exciting and sobering and challenging and most of all clearly God's blessing is on this. 

To me it is much like the blessing of another child.  There is much responsibility and much joy in the transition.  Although she is an adult who can still care for herself and whose faculties are intact she is clearly aging.  I will be responsible for overseeing her health care and her finances.  That will require both time and wisdom.  I trust God will provide what I need.    He always has before.
