Being Real

The last few days…the last few weeks have been one of those…serious…ugh, more bad news kind of times.  Grief in so many that we care about for loved ones now gone.  Cancer returning in sweet souls and worry…

I must ‘be real’…

My Loving Spouse was ill over two weeks ago and is still not completely well.  The leg with THE Knee is not okay.  There is some sort of infection and where or what it is doing is still an unknown.  It is getting better, but still something is not right.  We get to practice patience as we wait on tests.  I get to practice patience with The Patient.  I know I am being assisted by the Lord because so far I’m doing pretty well and quite honestly I did not get the ‘nursing gene’.

I am a woman of faith.  My theology is fairly simple.

Thank you Jesus for loving me.

Love God…love others…love self.

…and in times where I can fall off the cliff of worry, I cling to the simplest of phrases from The Lord’s Prayer…

“Give us this day our daily bread”…(although I think there should be a ‘please’ in that phrase)…I am reminded that in ‘daily bread’…I can stay in ‘today’ and know that I do have all I need…just for today.us

    I hate that my life is so packed with obligations that I can’t seem to figure out when to call my friend. I think of you often, actually daily. I send up prayers often, too. I love you both. Great picture!

      Thanks my friend….
      It is such a change, but I spend very little time on the phone…a big difference from when I was a Realtor! We’ll know more next week… We covet your prayers!

    Hugs and prayers for you both!
