Decent Day

Sorry posting so late, but didn't leave mom and dad's until late and had to do baths and get things ready for the week. Dad seemed to have a good day. He and mom took a walk this morning at the park, he said about a mile which is good. I am thankful that it is warmer outside to where he can be active and take his walks, instead of when it is snowy and icy no one wants to do anything then. But his pain is still there but he changed the schedule of his taking his medicine which I think has helped. We were all there tonight and he seemed to be doing okay. He even had a beer and said he had to drink it slow because it was tasting too good and he didn't want to overdo it :)

I read this in my meditation book and I find it fitting for what we are all going through. You should never look ahead to the challenges or the changes of this life in fear. As they arise, instead you should look at them with the assurance that God, will help you through them. So hold his hand tightly, and he will lead you safely through all things, and when you cannot stand, he will carry you in his arms.

(Matthew 28:20) Surely I am with you always

You go through your life going to church as a child because you were told you had to, and then when you are a teenage/early adulthood you question everything you have learned and what is taught, but you may never waiver your faith, you just have questions and that is fair. Then when you have children or when you get a little bit older, you go back to the church and you wait for answers or what this life holds for you, and you go because you are in need of some type of hope that everything in this life has a purpose and that there is hope, even when there seems like there is none, and that there is a reason for everything, that God knows what he is doing even though we may not like it at the time, he does have a reason. So I continue to go to church for the hope and to feel that he is with me and to hold his hand tightly, because he knows I can not take this journey nor can our family take this journey alone, without him.

Take time to enjoy the weather!

Much love to all,
