Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

God's Timing/ Grandparents

God knew we needed this time to care for Theron's parents. We have taken some trips to Tennessee, although not as many trips as his sisters have taken. There are decisions to be made for them. Things are getting packed up. Facilities are being checked out.
My heart aches for them. This couple that has been together all of their married lives is now seperated by circumstances beyond their control.
He - in a rehab facility recovering from a punctured lung and three broken ribs.
She - dependant on someone to drive her to visit him.
Neither one of them ask for much.
During my short time knowing them, I've not heard one of them complain.
He - would take the kids for "tractor" rides with his lawnmower.
She - made a special doll for Hannah that is very precious to her.
In the past when we've visited, we would attend services with them at their church in Mine City. Now they are not able to go.
Theron is dealing with all this. So many changes.
We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we must Trust God.

  1. Enjoyed reading through your blog. I remember the waiting. It was so hard. Now as I look back, I see that God's timing was perfect. I don't envy your being in the waiting stage though. I often had to remind myself of the verse, "Be still and know that I am God." He's in control and I must rest in that knowledge. God Bless!
