blessings
Today I am, above many times in my life, most blessed!
In 90 minutes I'll leave my house which, although the foundation has a crack in it, is a perfect house for my husband and me. I'll leave it full of material blessings, some which mean a lot to me and some which I'll sell in a garage sale in a couple of months or give away. I'll carry a small suitcase with provisions to keep me clothed and comfortable for a few days. This is more than many people have on any day.
I'll leave the house in the capable hands of my husband, who is a great blessing to me. He will accompany me and hold my hand and just be there for me.
I'll leave to make the short trip ( a blessing) to my hospital of choice. This is where I work ( a blessing), but today I don't have to do any work (HUGE blessing). I will place myself in the capable hands of friends and acquaintances whom I trust. I am capable of walking into the hospital. Just a little limp on the right leg. I am confident that the surgeon will be able to fix what is hurting me and that I will return to my home in a few days with the potential of no pain in the fairly near future.
I have SO MANY people who love me and are praying for me this morning!! How could I make it without them? But the fact that we all have a father to whom we are not only allowed to pray, but who longs to hear our prayers is the greatest blessing of all. The fact that He has called me his daughter, a princess and loves me beyond all measure, is more than I can grasp. But its true.
I am not seriously worried about the outcome of the surgery or anesthesia in these modern times (a blessing). However, if something should happen that does not meet my expectations and I end up with one of those possible complications that are listed on the surgery permit, God will bless me anyway. Should I never even awaken from the peaceful sleep induced in me, I will be blessed in other magnificent ways. This old body is not going to hide my spirit in it many more years anyway.
Actually, the best outcome for today would be if Jesus would choose around 10:30 this morning to return to earth and sweep us up to Heaven. I'd "settle" for that blessing.
