Laying down the grief


I love looking at the colors in the trees that changed late this year.  The oranges, yellows, and reds are like a painting I want to memorize . I love that God shows me the same beautiful colors in the sunsets and sunrises, beautiful flowers, magnificent birds, and fields of green. All something only he can paint and create . As I ponder on what God is showing me I think about the many things in my life which will help me remember the beauty of life . I know he’s preparing me as my eyesight goes blind. I’m thankful for that.

This month has been hard also for James going back and forth with his doctors. His second surgery was yesterday and he’s doing really good. Our spirt has been low and we’re praying everyday for peace in our own family that’s broken . I guess it’s the holiday or seeing our friend’s family’s getting to  gather.  May even be the life change to a City life after 48 years in the country. But we can’t let the devil keep bringing us down a depressed dark place. Maybe it’s someone  very close to us that has turned their back on Christ. We  have layed our grief at the foot of our Lords cross for healing, for forgiveness, for guidance. 

Today I sit next to James at his second doctor appointment today, his heart doctor, to check on his blockage. God still speaking to me as I look around the room and it’s so full of other heart patients who are probably scared of the “what ifs”. I know God is reminding me to keep my faith, he’s in  control, and he heard not only my prayers in this room but everyone that’s praying for healing. 

So today I will focus on the beauty of the trees and the fallen leaves in the  parking lot all around. I know God is in the wind, in the beauty, in the hearts of those sitting around us, in our family, and in our future.
