I want to be all lighthearted and carefree.
Today has been good. I feel good. Church was really good. Lunch was really, really good. Had good company all day long.
But Nate has been suffering for 3 weeks now and I’m ready for him to get relief. Please pray for him. This back thing has been serious business and has really laid him out for these weeks.
One of my family members is faced with the possibility of MS.
And today one of my very best friends in the whole wide world told me they have cancer.
How can today be good?
Here is my plan…
I am going to believe in miracles.
I am going to be comic relief even when I feel like crying.
I am going to pray fervently until relief comes.
I am going to have faith when I don’t feel like it.
I am going to be a source of sweet distraction.
I am going to say the positive no matter what.
In the end, it doesn’t matter what I do. I know this. But this is what I must do.
I am also going to see the beauty in today.
I will be present.
I will be grateful.
I will see the good.
And when I can’t anymore, I will ask you to hold me and mine up for me, so the job will still get done.
Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD
require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly
with your God.
