Today I am sad
We had big plans. Grandiose plans. Floating on the big ship off the Atlantic Coast into Canada. Beautiful parks, inlets, seaside lighthouses. Wild animals. Visiting the home of John’s first ancestors in North America in Quebec City.
We should be in Boston right now getting ready to take off. But instead, I am sitting in my Mourning Chair in Minnesota.
John had a fall, no serious injuries but bad enough we cancelled our trip. He feels terrible, physically, and because of our decision not to travel. Did I mention he has a big black eye? (He said it was okay to post his picture.)
And yet, I will praise Him.
And yes, God is still soverign, still in control. God did not make this happen, he did not ruin our plans. I will still praise him for his goodness.
I am sad, but I am grateful. There were no breaks, no concussion, no brain bleed. It happened near home, and our son Lee was nearby to help as I was at a mall bookfair. (John was at the mall, on his way to help me. A kind lady tracked me down, and there I found John, splat, laying on the floor of the mall.)
I mentioned to Lee he can never live very far away from us anymore…
There will be more trips, more to see. And at least we don’t have to worry about hurricane Ernesto interrupting our plans!
I’ll be praying for you! May God heal him and help give you joy, even though you’re missing your trip! 🙏🏻💛💛
