Peace Be With You #2

Peace be with you and know I am God. Having a peaceful Sunday morning sitting in my back yard. Toby, my fateful Terrier, is chilling in the grass. His last Sunday morning here with me enjoying a cool Texas morning.

In a few days time we move and as many knows a stressful time. Adding to the mix is my limited mobility with a disc in my back ruptured. My wife, bless her heart, is picking up a lot of the slack but also has pain.

I do, We do, have a sense of peace. In my blog some of our blessings have been described. Now for more of the story.

If you are not part of a community be active and become part of one. Community can be church, work, circle of friends and so many other options. I do have problems accepting help. That is my confession today. More blessed to give than receive. It is also in many of our macho DNA. God has worked on me in this area before and is a good lesson to learn. It may be uncomfortable but sitting in the back seat is a good thing. This goes beyond letting God drive but relinquishing total control.
New friends are being made, here and in Florida, with offers of help. Meals being delivered to take a burden off my wife. A boss willing to crawl in the rafters to retrieve a walker. Plus they have done and offered so much more. Who would of thought that grandmother’s walker would be needed by me. A mother and daughter, who where part of our life group, came over and packed for hours. Some many other stories and blessings.
If you are in pickle always know God has your back. It may be tough this growing spell but rewards are awesome. Saying good by, not really we will keep in touch, to such a great community is tough. But God has already given us glimpses of our next missions.
We will see you on the other side my friends and look forward to that joyful celebration.
