I thank You, for the blessing of steady, manageable, no
overload days. Gone are the days of hard work and stress and family challenges
and I surely appreciate it. All the anxiety I carried day in and day out for so
long. If nothing else, this cancer has taught me to let go of more and more
stuff. And focus on what truly matters. So much of what we stress out about is
so, so minor. Really. You have been extremely merciful to me and the tender
place I’ve been. I am mighty grateful to rise up every morning to the quiet and
the safety You grant me and for the loving husband and the others in my life
who love and care about me. For Your unending supplying of all that I’ve
needed.
I wish I could say the same in return. I wish I could say all
I do is living for You. I’m sorry I see You as Helper and Supplier more than
Master of my life. I’m sorry I’m not living as Your servant, bending low to
hear Your next command and obediently doing it to the praise and glory of Your
Holy Name. I’m sorry I have neglected my God-given talents of writing and
drawing, uplifting and encouraging – bringing Your character to light, more tangible
to others. For being quiet when there is much to reveal about the Lord I love
and trust. May I regain a foothold. May I take a firmly planted step and tell
of Your wonderful works, Your marvelous deeds. For Your good pleasure, Lord.
May I bring a smile to Your wonderful face.
Glory to God in the highest … (Luke 2:14)
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all
for the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31)
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all
your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind. And love your
neighbor as yourself. (Luke 10:27)
