This morning we worshiped in our home church with people who
feel like members of the family. I know that these are the majority of the
people who will be helping Bob and I in the coming years. My faith in God
couldn’t be stronger. Our sermon today emphasized the free gift of grace given
to all of us. Thanks God. I look around the sanctuary and see so many people
who have shown their love to us for many years. Age doesn’t matter. I got to
finally hold little Audrey, the youngest member of our church. (Check out the
picture online.) I talked to a senior and tried to arrange meals to help him
out. Then there were countless people in between. They love me despite my
singing voice and goofy writings.
Then, Bob, Einstein and I headed to Indiana for a sleepover
with my grandsons celebrating my birthday. Once again, calories were aplenty.
Although other parts of my body are falling apart, my mouth still works just
fine. (That’s both for putting food in and letting words fall out.) We’ll head
home tomorrow after a little more Nanny spoiling. The hugs are wonderful. This
two-hour trip is so much nicer than a trip half way across the nation. My poor
son-in-law may not be too aware of what this new distance will mean to him.
I’m in several Yahoo groups for spouses of someone tackled
with LBD. I got so many comforting emails already in less than 24 hours. The
presence of others who really do understand what I am going through provides me
with a security blanket. Their words offer scary predictions mixed with loving
encouragement.
Today is proof that I am not alone. I have dear friends at
church, a loving daughter and her family close by, and comrades of kind on the Internet.
I’m blessed. Life is good.
God Uses Our Love to Prove that Life is Good
- Lots of people are in my life to help
me when life gets rough.
