He holds the future

Thank You ABBA. This morning I have felt a heaviness – bringing Amber for the surgery to remove the tumor on her shoulder, her seeming not quite herself and then being asked IF her heart should stop, what do I want them to do – or not do. Knowing that she is going to die, but not knowing when or what form it will take. My prayer yesterday was that You would take her – because I don’t want to see her suffer and I don’t want to have to make the decision - at some point in the future - to “put her down”

Anyway, as I was sitting here in the lobby the intake tech came to let me know that there was a form they had forgotten to have me sign. As I was signing it he made the comment that he had noticed earlier that I was using the BlueletterBible and that he really liked it and thought it was a great study tool – to which I agreed. It was just that little sign to me that everything is in Your hands, that nothing goes unnoticed, that Your presence is all around – in the air we breathe and indwelling in Your children, even when we’re unaware and not even looking for it. I just know that what ever the future may hold, that You hold the future and I can rest and be at peace in that knowledge.
