Best laid plans...

The day turned out differently than we planned. I had expected to go out for breakfast with a friend to a favorite little place. Then I was coming home to help Lloyd with some yardwork and in the evening we had dinner plans with some friends from my work. But we ended up in the ER today and my DH was admitted. I have great peace about things. I'm sure he will be fine. They are keeping him to make sure there is nothing life-threatening but so far all tests look pretty good.

So often things don't happen the way we think they will. But as I was sitting next to my honey holding his hand while we waited between tests, I was reminded of what I already knew - that the things that really matter are not really things.

Nothing OT

I belong to some online groups that are designed to share special interests like reading, cooking, travel, etc. Often replies to a post will get off on a tangent and before you know it, the subject is changed to begin with "OT" for "off topic". In some groups members or moderators will try to abolish off topic posts in order to keep down volume and to keep the posts related to the subject of the mail group. But it's comforting to know that nothing is OT with God. We can go to Him in prayer and pour out our hearts. We can approach Him about anything and everything in our lives and He listens. We don't have to have a religious formula for prayer. If we read something from a prayer book that's okay too if it expresses our hearts. But if the prayer is "HELP" or "God, I can't go on" or even if we lash out in fear or anger, it's okay. It doesn't change the way He feels about us. He loves us unconditionally. He is looking for us ...
