For Today.....

Today I was reminded of just how awesome God's power is, and just how little I think about it. My Grandmother who has been in the hospital for several weeks fighting death, is at home. Her "literal" house (lol). I guess the Dr's got tired of being wrong and telling us that she's going to die "today" and then nothing would happen. So, she is now at home, Hospice is taking care of her along with family. She said that she is glad to be home. This made me think of all of the times I prayed for her, asking the Lord to do HIS will, when all the while, I was thinking she is going to die tonight. How self-righteous of me to think that "death" was automatically what the Lord wanted for her. She is still on a Bi-PAP which is an oxygen mask that forces the oxygen through the mask and into your mouth and lungs, and she still needs round the clock care, however, we were told 3 times that she was going to die, and she didn't. We even said our "goodbye's" and all she said was that she loved us, but that she could be here for another 5 weeks! LOL, which made me wonder if she knows something we don't? Hmmmm......  In any case, we love her, and are glad to see that she is home and can "relax" in her own enviornment.  And I'm glad I was reminded of how I need to focus on the "healing" power of God and His word(s), and on Love, Hope, and Faith. ( BTW.. the word "HOPE" in the picture is written on Haleigh's arm, when we did this, it was to support To Write Love on Her Arms and so she did on one arm and on the other she wrote Hope)
