Random Thoughts....

I am hurting for my dear friend Shannon today. She is helping her family get through the loss of her beloved grandfather. He was a believer in Christ so she also has reason to rejoice because he is now in the arms of Jesus and has no more pain. I am so glad that I have that hope to live for.
I am also worried for my friend Carolyn. In this age of healthcare reform, she is getting jerked around by doctors that "don't want to take THAT insurance." It's nice that we want to help people that need insurance, but if the doctor won't see them, what difference does it make. I know God will take care of the problems she is having, but it tends to frustrate her and I feel her pain.
My precious ornery boys are still battling sickness. Nathan is coughing so hard at times that he will throw up. Noah is coughing too and running a low grade fever again. We may just isolate ourselves in the house for a couple of weeks so we can get rid of this. I've santized the whole house so I hope that helps. My poor humidifiers are going to burn up at this rate! Even so, the boys still want to play constantly (Nathan did at 3am last night) and don't show many outward signs of illness. I'm doing a lot of praying right now.
Finally, my Mom is just finishing up a doctor's appointment about her broken leg. It has been over 3 months with no signs of healing yet. I hope she gets positive news today. They have been trying a new treatment. I should find out soon if it is working. She is an active woman and this is getting her down. She is learning to adapt, but I know she wants to hop in the car and go someplace on her own.
Through all of these things, God is good and will take care of us. We all just have to trust Him and let Him do things in His time, not ours. That is hard for me to do, but I am trying very hard. I am learning patience the hard way, but I am learning.
