"Just the Facts"-- No Doctors appointments or testing today. Guess you could call it a free day! Feeling a bit edgy, but excited for the activities of the new month. Happy New Years Eve to all.
We have had a lot of activity for one family during the 2010 year. We started the year with both my Mom and my Uncle in the Hospital. Mom was in Mexico at the time, which put me as the care-giver for my Uncle while she was away. Due to her illness she could not travel back for a month, so that put me in charge of finding Uncles motor home, car, and dog! All successful! Then in February 2010, Mom came home, Uncle got out of the hospital and all seemed to be moving forward until it came to a crashing halt the last week in February, when first, Mom ended up in ER, then admitted, due to a relapse, then B went to ER and was then admitted the next day, for his unknown (at the time) problem, then to end the week, my Uncle was back in ER and admitted for complications to his health problems. 3 ER visits in one week, guess I was in training, for what only One knows.
So as I look back at the year, the re-view reflects some major obstacles and yet, some amazing accomplishments, promises, and faithful family and friends showing their kindness and grace. Of all the issues we faced, it's the great hugs, smiles, commitment to prayer on our behalf, donations of blood on B's behalf, gifts of groceries (you know who you are) that were blessing us throughout the year.
As I opened up the new calendar for 2011, and noted the activities that will commence in January, all seemingly routine, but in reality will be literally life changing, I reflect on the message posted on the calendar's art graphic..."To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven." These words of wisdom we will hold in our hearts and will be a reminder of who is in charge and caring for us during these next steps we take.
Until next time,
Hopeful Believer
