Room 5020
October 16, 2017
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done.
Genesis 50:20
Jay Bufton turned his hospital room into a lighthouse.
The fifty-two-year-old husband, father, high school teacher, and coach was dying of cancer, but his roomRoom 5020became a beacon of hope for friends, family, and hospital workers. Because of his joyful attitude and strong faith, nurses wanted to be assigned to Jay. Some even came to see him during off-hours.
Even as his once-athletic body was wasting away, he greeted anyone and everyone with a smile and encouragement. One friend said, Every time I visited Jay he was upbeat, positive, and filled with hope. He was, even while looking cancer and death in the face, living out his faith.
At Jays funeral, one speaker noted that Room 5020 had a special meaning. He pointed to Genesis 50:20, in which Joseph says that although his brothers sold him into slavery, God turned the tables and accomplished something good: the saving of many lives. Cancer invaded Jays life, but by recognizing Gods hand at work Jay could say that God intended it for good. Thats why Jay could use even the ravages of cancer as an open door to tell others about Jesus.
What a legacy of unwavering trust in our Savior even as death was knocking at the door! What a testimony of confidence in our good and trustworthy God!
Lord, difficult things come into our lives so often. Please help us to trust You enough to see that nothing is beyond Your control. Help us to tell of Your love even in the tough times.
By Gods grace, we can have our best witness in the worst of times.
While Josephs story had a spectacularly happy ending, it did not come overnight. When Joseph became the primary character in the Genesis narrative, he was only seventeen years old (Gen. 37:2). After about ten years as a slave in the household of Potiphar (captain of the bodyguard, a high official in Pharaohs court), he had risen to a position of great trust, managing Potiphars household properties and affairs. However, after Potiphars wife falsely accused him, Joseph was imprisoned for two years (41:1). When he was set free and assigned the post of vice-chancellor of Egypt, he was thirty years old (41:46). But there were seven years of plenty followed by two years of famine (45:6) before he came face-to-face with his brothers. That means that from the time he was sold into slavery to the time of family reconciliation, twenty-two years had transpired!
How does the story of Joseph help you to realize there is no circumstance beyond Gods control?

It was still gloomy today, and I was concerned that either a hike or Bike Ride would end up with me stranded in the rain.
But I really needed to rest.
Sis is coming from maine tomorrow so she can be with me for my birthday.
We are combining my party with Pub Nite on Tuesday.

Howdy, Kathy.
Hope you’ve whittled your “to do” list down a bit more this weekend mixed with some “kick off your shoes and kick back” time.
Y’all haven’t had any icy roads yet, have you?

Ahh, sounds like typical Anchorage weather for this time of the year, no?
We're sunny but cooler.
Get a lot of "stuff" done this weekend?

Hi radu!
No football today, I'm into my 2nd year of *Ptooey* to the NFL!
I watched both my college teams lose yesterday though, *Groan*
I went nowhere today, looking forward to Monday and less traffic and people to do my shopping.
How the kittehs and you guys doing?

I knew you weren’t watching NFL but since I don’t watch any football, I didn’t know if there were any college games today or not.
I went to see Aunt Clara for a little bit this afternoon. The cold front started coming through while I was there and it’s starting to get a lot cooler now. Fall has finally arrived. The days won’t be bad but the night’s are going to be right nippy.
Hmmmmm, just remembered I need to bring two plants inside tonight that spend summer outside. They aren’t going to be very happy if they’re left out in the cold.
Kittehs are quiet this evening, for a change. Churchill hasn’t been eating well since Friday and I’m a bit worried. He was doing great until then. He goes in this week to have blood drawn for a kidney function check-up and I’m afraid I’m not going to like the test result.
