Last day looking at this view until next year. Good Lord willing, @studio92images and I will return for year five. We return to the Great Unknowns tomorrow. We also return to the loving arms of our wonderful son, our @oakleafchurch , our puppies, and our beautiful Georgia pines. God’s got this. He’s numbered the breaths of Dad’s life, He’s the Sovereign Provider to the widow, and the same hand that commands the sea will surely guide the professional choices that loom. We Surrender All, Jesus. Your Will Be Done. #aruba #arubaonehappyisland #hiswillbedone #faith
I am protective of my old parents, especially the privacy of my mother. She has suffered from agoraphobia most of her adult life. I have not known a normal life with her, but I love her dearly. She made a solid effort to visit my dad in the rehab facility last night. We even capped the night off with a cheeseburger and custard from Culver’s. It was a beautiful night. My parents held hands and shared a couple hours together just laughing and talking. Some of it was hard conversation. Life is changing for them rapidly, and it is very hard to comprehend. One thing doesn’t change. My dad still looks at her the same as he did all those years ago. He said he loved her from the moment he saw her. This was her cute “visitor” picture. It makes me smile. They make me smile. My sweet husband’s devotion to their care makes me smile. Most of all, Jesus makes me smile. I don’t know what we have done to deserve His mercy, but he has supplied it in spades. #bonsecoursmariamanor #truelove #stpetersburgflorida #jesuschrist #mercy #love #aging
