I can’t express enough about God and His help. I pondered the many things that have occurred this past year, which started last October. Our daughter, husband, and two boys moved to Tennessee to be closer to us and I can’t believe it’s been a year now. We are thrilled.
This move was good for us, especially during knee recovery from surgery right after Christmas. We were shut down from Covid virus at the same time, I was the last patient to have surgery. I had a double portion of PT at the house and it seemed forever until I could walk again. The family helped us with our yard and house. I still need prayer for pain issues please.
I look around and notice there are so many lonely people in our neighborhood without their loved ones to visit them. We have a greater opportunity to minister to these lonely people. There are so many opportunities to do that, so we do what we can. We realize it’s hard for many of you as well. Because this is a problem in people’s lives we’ve committed to praying for those who are lonely and needy. None of us is exempt from needing help at one time or another. Don’t be afraid to ask your friends and neighbors for help. I’m reminded that people will know we are Christians by our love and care for one another. If you don’t feel loved, reach out and love someone anyway. I promise, you’ll be blessed.
I have a confession to make. A friend of mine agreed that we would learn to let others help us because both of us have trouble receiving support from others. Ouch, it may be a pride thing.
I went to the store to pick up milk the other day and of all things! I left my wallet at home with my driver’s license, credit card, and cash. The lady behind me offered to pay and I was so embarrassed, I wouldn’t let her, a stranger (REALLY an ANGEL, that I missed) I wished she knew how wonderful she was and that I am sorry if I didn’t accept. I’m still such a baby in learning mode! So thank you to you whoever you are, your gift of love is so special to me. Sorry Lord, I’ll try to do better next time. I’ll get in the boat and trust you! :)
This is Monday Madness, please take a deep breath and list all the thankful memories of 2020, share them at the Thanksgiving table and allow others to love on you.
