A Rare Treasure
Today was a rare treasure on this roller coaster of a ride. It was if someone had flipped a switch. From the agonizing thoughts on Tuesday of “Round 2. Here we go again. Is this how it will be from here on out??” to today of “will someone please tell me again what disease he has?” Dad has responded so well to hydration, the antibiotics and proper care at the hospital! Antics, laughing, joking, even thanking the nurses for their care in helping him to the bathroom! “Thank you, girls, I’d kiss everyone of you if I could!”
Thank you, God, for allowing me to see him like that today! It helps to
take the sting out of the harsh reality that I’m either becoming numb or adjusting to disconnecting from my emotions so that I can cope.What am I learning? In a nutshell? “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, YET I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” Habakkuk 3:17-18
Dad and Larry singing together tonight sums it up…
“Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art!”
