The Brian Doerksen's CD "Today (as for me and my house)" is ministering deeply to me. Today I chose life, I chose your way God--even when circumstances are swirling around my health and doctors are wondering what to do next.
In the midst of the storm of uncertainty there is a calm of trust and intimacy of grace. First with God in these songs of worship. Closely connected with June, Lia and Austin.
Today Austin spent much of the day at the hospital with me and at the and of the day said: It was really good. What a blessing to be told that by my teen age son who just spent the day in my hospital room.
Thanks, Austin!
It was Lia's firsts ay of work at the Amish Market. Se came to the hospital afterward excited with the experience of her first real day of working for pay. Life goes on around me. It does not stop and wait for me to get well. But as my life activity is slowed and greatly altered it allows me to notice the lives of those I love most closely in a new way.
Austin, Lia, June and I played a game of Yahtzee on my hospital bed. Austin who was reluctant to play ended up winning with Lia close behind. I was delighted!
I am alert, interacting, aware, involved, just not moving well. My mind and spirit heart and emotions are well. My body is confusing and confounding the learning of science of how it should respond. I am experiencing the words of Apostle Paul, outwardly wasting away yet inwardly renewed day by day.
Another poignant moment, full of courage and honesty with my should mate: June I do not have any premonition but if I should die this is what I would like for my funeral...
