So, let me share some of the ways God has touched my heart and shown off today, so that I can steal away my adversary's thunder.
1. Servant-hearted men swiped my lawn mower (correction: one of my three non-working lawn mowers) several days ago, fixed it up, and returned it this evening in tip-top condition ready for use.
2. Praise-filled word that a dear friend's sister is being restored to better health after news, just yesterday, regarding hospice and "tough days ahead."
3. Looking intently into the tear-filled eyes of an elderly gentleman who shared words of scripture to comfort my weary heart.
That last one fills my eyes as well.
I may lose sleep. I may struggle with fear and anxiety as I shoulder a weight that seems too heavy to carry. But, God restores my soul; touches my heart in the gentlest of ways; reminds me that He sees me.
And gives me Grace to face each step of the way.
I need to add a #4 to the list: Sometimes what seems like a really rough moment isn't as bad as you think after all. Thank God for the people He's placed in my life.
