Still Some Left for Me!

I have just arrived in a bit earlier than the past few days from being at the hospital with my mother. For those who knew and have been praying she is slightly better tonight. Blood pressure up, fever down, still clearing those air ways of pneumonia trash but weak as water and grateful for God's touch. Thanks for praying for us all. Pray us through!

Before I retire for the evening as my eyes are already at half mast (half shut for those non-nautical types) I wanted to simply share with you all how our Father has blessed His child and for some of you, your pastor. Todays word from the Lord was found in 2 Corinthians 12. Where HE instructed Paul through His "thorn in the flesh."

MY grace is sufficient for you..... As I was reading in Streams in the Desert this AM at the MC Hospital in GSO, God reminded me of HIS never ending supply. I have spent the larger portion of my life sharing with others how Great HE is ( and HE is) and how HE will never fail us (and HE won't) nor will HE ever fall short is supply (HE can't) of all we need for each day. This week has been a living (fleshing) out of this truth.

We have faced many unplanned obstacles and have faced many feelings, ideas, and thoughts throughout this journey. As much as I have had the privilege of seeing HIM give to others throughout my life, may I shout in praise to HIM for all to hear (or read) there was still enough of HIS grace left for me and my family.

Now I was not surprised, but HIS grace that has been lavished upon me has left me humbled in its wake. Read through the above highlighted verses and read each word carefully and make personal application for you. At every point, in every situation HE has met me/us with all sufficient grace. As I sit here at the end of a very long and hard few days I am so grateful to be one of HIS.

One who never escapes HIS watchcare. One, who no matter what may have caught me by surprise, has found HIM already there with ready made direction, help and mercy. HE has come in the form of prayer strength, peace, clarity, short rest, family, friends, hospital staff, Mrs Morris in mom's first room, phone calls, visits, emails, mercy to my mother, and in so many small yet powerfully divine moments that have reminded me that even though I/we are HIS servants for decades, my family is still HIS family. Precious to HIM. While HE has given so much to so many for so long........there was still some GRACE left for me! Praise HIM!

Trust HIM today friends.... there is still some left for you!

Blessings
