A Beautiful Day

Today was an unexpected blessing for me. What with unusual events of the past couple of weeks, including my son’s surgery, I have been experiencing a great deal of weariness. I’m not sure why our brains do not keep up with our bodies, but it is a fact. In my mind, I am still young and viable. However, the years have taken its toll on my body. Excess weight combined with arthritis has been a real detriment to my doing all the activities I once enjoyed. Perhaps some of you have found this to be true also.

Anyway, why was today a blessing? Let me explain. Charlie and I were scheduled to join some friends on a bus trip to Atlantic City. The reservations were made well ahead of time and everyone but me was excited about being together and having some fun. As I mentioned above, I have been extremely weary and just wanted to “veg” out, instead of all the walking I foresaw for the day. I knew it would be a stretch for me to be companionable and upbeat during the long day this bus trip would entail.

This is where God, with his wonderful compassion, stepped in. He created some emergency circumstances that resulted in our having to cancel our trip to Atlantic City. The other two couples were able to continue with their plans, but Charlie and I had a more relaxing day. I was able to make some necessary phone calls, take a nap and gather my wits a little bit, while Charlie visited with his son Tom who had flown in from Dallas, Texas.

Everyone can fairly well comprehend God answering prayers when there is a major crisis situation. However, I have found He is there for me in small helpful ways, i.e., giving me a day off. Perhaps you, too, can relate some small instance where God has worked a small miracle for you. Let me hear from you how God has worked in your life.
