The last few days have been difficult ones for me. If we could only say some magic words, look into the future and make decisions. Wouldn't life be simpler!! But God didn't give us that option. What he did give us is the ability to trust, pray, and wait. Not the easiest thing to do.
He also gave us a promise. The promise that He would provide us with our needs each day. I have been thinking on this for some time now and realize that I need to follow the example of the prayer he taught his disciples. This is all we need - simple faith that each day God will supply us with the things we need not the things we want.
In my short visit with Marilyn today, I learned much. I thought I was feeling sorry for Marilyn, unable to enjoy one of the most beautiful last days of summer but then I realized that I was really feeling sorry for myself. Yes, I would love to share some moments in the sunshine with the wind blowing through our hair - but I know that God has other plans. And I am sure He will let me know what they are in his own time. Today Marilyn said how happy she was that she had had such a good day. How can I complain when Marilyn is content. She shared with the chaplain that her biggest desire is to be able to spend the remainder of her life helping others. Somehow I know that God is going to grant that wish. Knowing what is in the future isn't important but knowing the One who controls it is.
Love and Prayers
