Well to be
honest I have read Luke 1:57-80 about 4 times and I just can’t get my mind
wrapped around what I am reading. You
know when something else is so strongly on your mind that no matter how many
times you read something it just doesn’t register. So I will just open up and write about what is
on my mind.
You
see my Aunt Barbara that I mentioned last night is not doing well at all. We actually thought we lost her today. She suffered a heart attack and is now on a
heart pump. She is the oldest of nine children; all of them
still living, and my dad’s oldest sister.
While I don’t see her that often, I still have such love for her. Probably because she has never shown me
anything less than unconditional love. I
can never remember a time when she did not greet me with a big, strong hug and
a kiss on the forehead or cheek. The
same kind of hug and kiss my Grandma, her mother, would give me. The hug and kiss that would make me not only
feel a special kind of love from her, but also, somehow, from my grandma too,
who I miss so much. I have prayed constantly all day for her and
for a minute I thought about what she told my mother last night and wondered
about the miracle that she spoke of, but then I immediately stopped that thought
process. Of course I want her to live
and of course that is what I have prayed for, but I have also added ‘if that is
God’s will’ to my prayer. I can never
question God’s purpose and plan in my life, or anyone else’s life, even my Aunt
Barbara’s. I know in my mind that God knows so much more
about what we need, but my heart is learning this more and more each day. So while I want her to stay here with us, I
know without a doubt, that God’s will, will be done and that no matter what
happens I will never, ever doubt his love for me and my family, and I will
never stop praising Him. So again
tonight I say, to God be the Glory! I
love you Aunt Barbara!
