My goodness, I logged into the site just now to post today’s entry and found I hadn’t done one yesterday. What does that tell you about this old grandpa?? I had an early phone call, counseling appointment and then a group session following it at our church. My youngest daughter’s frig had quit the day before. I had found a good used one for her so with help I quickly went to load the new one, remove the old one and replace with the new one. The help was another one of God’s blessings–even if one of them was a brother! By midafternoon things had quieted and I could relax. Posting this site had never entered my mind until I saw the absence of it this morning. My apologies.

The small group session yesterday morning has a curriculum we are using. It’s topic was praying and believing. It challenged me just where I was needing challenged–BELIEVING. Yesterday was the first day I was leaving my wife alone to go do this group and I was an anxious husband. Even though the therapists and her doctor had said it was the right thing to do, I couldn’t see it. Yesterday’s lesson reminded me where I had my eyes–on Kathy first and not on Christ as my first look. I also was needing help moving the frig for they are quite heavy. My brother had said I would need to find an additional helper. One of the verses in the lesson was ASK, SEEK and KNOCK. So at the end of the lesson I asked and immediately one young man volunteered. He and my brother were a perfect match for the help needed. I guess that should be no surprise when God is at the helm!

The frosting on the cake was my sister-in-law had come with my brother to be with Kathy making the absence worry free. I didn’t expect to come home and see a little bit of Christmas in our home’s decor. These little things are blessings God keeps bringing which remind me so much of His tender mercies. How I love HIM!
