This morning I sit in front of this computer and ponder just what I’m to write? I like to think I’m a flexible man, father, husband, grandpa, friend. But, this year is different. I’ve always, in years past, loved having all of the kids staying overnight. I step over sleeping bodies to get to the den so I can quietly have my devotions and get settled in for the day. I simply wasn’t expecting to have this happening this year because of my wife’s stroke. I need to protect her rest, etc. However, she is sleeping soundly and I did too. 

As I was journaling this morning and asked Jesus what He wanted me to know for today, I was reminded to let Him take the lead. Everyone in the family is wanting to do what’s best for mom and grandma just as I am. I can let this go and enjoy this time just as I have in the past. I don’t need to make this time look like my fears. Let it all go and let Christ be the Lead in what takes place. Trust Him and trust my family. 

It is funny how writing this has emptied the concern I had within. We all want to do what is best for mom and grandma. Kathy enjoys having the family with us. I will too!
