We just got back from visiting my in-laws in Georgia. They are such an amazing couple. My father in-law’s health has been failing and he had to move to a hospital area in their retirement community until he gets stronger. He really wants to come home. JDaniel2 works hard every day to walk more, eat better, and rest. He has had heart problems for a long time and we don’t know how long we will have him. It doesn’t seem to faze him. He is motivated to gain strength. It was amazing watch my mother in-law interact with him. She just loves on him. She told me today she knows God has his own timeline for her JDaniel2. I pray that God gives JDaniel4 and I more time to get to know him. We are late comers to the family and JDaniel isn’t old enough to have memories of his own of his grandfather yet.
This week I have heard about two babies dying (one in utro and one less than a month old), visited a very special man I don’t want to die yet, and struggled to understand God’s hand in all of it. I know he has a plan. I know I can’t control his plan. I know I have to trust in his plan.
If you get a chance, please pray for my friends C and H who lost babies and JDaniel2 this week.
