I dearly love these early mornings when there is no interruption. It’s just God and me. You get to sense and know His Spirit within and for a moment in time you know beyond a shadow of any doubt that God is Love. The day then begins with all of its interruptions and challenges and I quickly lose for a time this intimate sense of God’s Presence. Yet, I can anchor into the Strength of God when I realize I’ve once again drifted for a time. His Spirit nudges and I reawaken to the reality that I need to let my mind return to the God I serve.

Yesterday I was notified that my younger brother’s wife may have had a stroke as my own wife did almost two weeks ago. I quickly called to check this message’s accuracy. It was true. Yet, later last night there was no evidence of a stroke found. The doctors thought it was likely a migraine which can mirror symptoms of a stroke. A year ago my older sis-in-law battled a 6 month period of breast cancer treatment. This morning I was hit with the truth of God’s Gift to us Lewis brothers. Our wives are precious not only in God’s sight, but they are most precious as our wives. They love each other and are like 3 peas in a pod and we brothers take so much of this for granted.

My next assignment is to let the three of them know what a gift they are! I’ve already thanked God, and next it will be them!
