Strength

This has been a sad tough week. A neighbor passed away and 2 friends were arrested for DUI. Then another friend's wife has been diagnose with terminal lung cancer. My heart hurts and I'm angry with the Lord and the poor choices that we humans make. So I cry and cry out "no". As I was reading in Isaiah I came across a note. You see I never write in the Bible not any book. I don't underline, I make notes on other paper. So I don't know who wrote and circle these verses. Isaiah 41: 9-10. It certainly helped reduce the hurt in my heart and gave me time with Him, to think, to listen, and then to trust. This weekend I'm going to rest and maybe hear Him speak more. I'm dedicating my time for praise and worship. This day (Friday) has had a happy and joyful blessing. All my children are home and safe. Today would have been Rod's 72 birthday and it was a happy time sharing with them. Rod's love of daffodils came from a poem by Wordsworth, he could quote that poem word for word driving us all nuts. Joy and sorrow seem to go hand in hand, I'm so bless to be able to share with so many my story. Thank you Lord for showing yourself in others.
