This past year my mother, my sister and my cousin all passed away. My wife had major surgery that required five months of convalescence. We were forced to move back to CT from Idaho - not a desired move. We moved all of our household into a new house, my wife started a new job, my daughter enrolled in a new Christian school and I had the most critical deadline of the year at my job - all on the same weekend (along with almost a foot of snow). We are flat out exhausted.
But, God is great and His blessings are new every morning. I need to remember that it is all about Him and not about me. I have never seen the righteous forsaken and He knows the reason for all of this.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your family members.
And extra prayers and hugs to you and your family.
Great post!
BUMP!
