I have had a few days to consider many things. This quote that comes to mind. "He also serves who sits and waits." For anyone that knew me in my previous life, before my stroke, I was the kind of person that tried to do whatever I could to make things work the way I wanted. I am not nearly so foolhardy now, in my second life post stroke.
I come from a long line of talkers. I can be good to talk at moments. I have found there to be more power in listening. Talk really gets in the way of your ability to listen.
I thank everyone that has participated with me in my fast. I am getting some answer already. I know nothing is on my timetable. Sometimes we give a fish and the person gives us a serpent in return. I say continue to provide fish as best as you can. The day may come when you are told you can do something different.
I will let you know more.
We went trick or treating the other night. We were in a really good neighborhood. The worst was my little girl got a blister so that ended the trick or treating. We went back to my place. My daughter rode on my chair to save her feet. We watched a movie and went to bed. To easy. Sort of. Nothing is easy for me.
I do not understand why the Lord has seen fit to bless me with what I have. As Job in the Old Testament said, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." I have to say that my life is really a pain right now.
My heart goes out to you Nathan!
