Storms

"Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more valuable than they?"  Often during horrible thunderstorms I wonder where birds go for safety. 

Have you ever had a huge "thunderstorm" in your own life and wondered how in the world you would ever manage?  Being alone certainly brings a whole gamut of concerns;too many to mention here.  It's the littlest of activities of daily living that become monumental!!!  

Now, after another major surgery I had been pondering a few more things like appointments, transportaion, etc. etc., etc!!! So, all those things got ironed out for me!  As I was having in-home therapy, I simply verbalized these concerns to my therapist who told me she thought of all these things herself!! See, I didn't even have to lose sleep; she had it all covered!

We sat and made phone calls for the transport van and believe me, it took many connections and time but finally got all the wrinkles ironed out! Often a certification number is needed before appointments can be made! 

Today I called for appointments but the real challenge was finding the right number for the correct facility!! My advice, don't wait till the end of day to do this!! Minutes pass and nothing happens as quickly as we wish it would!

I have skipped over many weeks that have passed since I wrote my last post but sufice it to say that I have truly thought of the birds in the sky! I repeated myself so much the first weeks of all these "miracles" occurring of how God was taking care of me through all my friends.  One friend told me I didn't have to keep repeating it all! I have had time sitting here to ponder all these things, to see the wonder of God, to see His love all around in so many ways, big and small.  

So, rather than fearing the worst or not having answers for the next day, or block of time, remember those birds of the air! Friends are God's arms; if they love me as much as they do, I imagine how much God loves me even more so!  Those life's storms are huge but if those birds every need are taken care of our every need will be taken care of, too!  I can attest to it!!
