The funeral for our close friend (and my husband's first cousin) was today. It's so hard to believe someone so young and vibrant is gone. We also found out today that our friend with the brain tumor evidently had a stroke during surgery. His wife has decided to let them put in a feeding tube and respirator for a few days to see if he will be able to survive. So much heartache and loss. It is just absolutely mind boggling to me that the pursuit of ill-gotten gained money could possibly be worth six plus years of your life.
Random thoughts:
The Life Lesson Exploration verses for Romans 11 sent me to read Deuteronomy 9:4–5. I have written beside that passage, "Keep perspective." The battle isn't ours. The victory isn't ours.
Jane (Her Name Was Jane) has written in her Bible the following note for Romans 12:13 - "Your home "a hospital" for strangers, needy, infirm—restoring them in mind, spirit, and body, as need may be!" Pretty cool.
Our lives are absolutely crazy right now. Organizing my husband's parent's medicines has been disastrous. What a mess! It has literally required setting up spreadsheets to organize all their meds. We are doing everything in our power to grant them their desire to remain in their home for a long as possible. When we get back from Florida we are going to start managing their bills and finances as well. We still have much to do with assisting my husband's widowed sister-in-law with her finances, living arrangements, etc. Without God's help all we are doing would be impossible. What we know is this: God has given us these responsibilities and we will do them to the very best of our abilities.
Next Entry: Romans 11:1–36 (Continued)
