Well we begin a new year 2019 and even though my 76th is no different yet - my hope in it all is that it will be. I am convicted NOT to beg merciful Jehovah Rapha to come and heal it all - even though I do, of course - but rather pray over and over again each day, "Dear Lord, grant me grace sufficient to accept and surrender totally to it all. And to rejoice in each new day."
Pain is my krypton and I'm a real wimp about it which means whatever aches I may be bemoaning, they are very little compared to the real harsh pain others live with all the time.
Joni Earickson Tada has a BEYOND SUFFERING BIBLE that the Lord led me to buy when it first came out. It definitely can put me in my place when I need it. It is also most encouraging and informative about why there is suffering in this world.
I do know this and believe fervently that each day the Lord wakes me up is the day I must do all I can to please Him and to serve Him. In my life this will mean being there for my loved family and friends and doing whatever I can to encourage and comfort and enjoy any time spent for and with them.
I pray that 2019 is a wonderful year for us all and that we have many surprises and adventures in store.
