8/13/11 Headin' north for more "birding" and a quick visit with familyand high school chum, Winslow. Yet, some disturbing news from a friend's diagnosis has my heart in Memphis. I've never even heard of the particular carcinoma that has been found---and I so understand her fears/concerns. But God.......already has her looking to Him and is covering her with His grace. How blessed to have the hand of such a God of comfort and hope.
Unable to sleep, I stood at the porch window looking out across the pasture as the sun rose. Four beautiful horses came to the fence and I began thanking the Lord for all He has created. I thanked Him for the life of this one who is "fearfully and wonderfully made." What an impact her love for the Lord and her life have had on me and others. Her teaching and her caring for her hubby, a blind paraplegic, are such testimonies to her love and trust in the One who anchors her soul.
Then I saw the quote, "Do not be afraid of tomorrow, God is already there."
What a great reminder. My Saturday sadness turned to hope and more prayer.
