Night yall...just wanted to let you all know I am gonna be very busy these next few weeks and may not have the time to commit to reading and studying enough to make a post. I will do my best. Gonna be getting things in order for Margie to come here from the nursing home by the end of the month to live. Even after she gets here and settled in I may not have the time everyday to post such in depth posts. Many of you know I have said I did not want any more responsibility after taking care of Mama, with the help of my sister and Candace so close together, but GOD says different! We are told in the Ten Commandments, EXODUS 20:12(NIV)...Honor your father and mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your GOD is giving you. For GOD to include this command in the Ten Commandments it is a very important thing to do. How did I know I was ready to commit to taking on the responsibility again? Prayer and reading the Word. I know I will not be doing this by myself, I will have the help of other family members, some health care and above all the help of the LORD. HE called me to do this work, so HIS Grace will be sufficient. 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9(NIV)...But HE said to me, MY grace is sufficient for you, for MY power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that CHRISTS power may rest on me. In other words, when different ones say to me, I thought you said you did not want the responsibility any more, I can say, GOD says different, my weakness is made strong by GOD and then I can share the goodness of GOD, to HIS Glory! Aint GOD good????? Yes HE is! HE knows I am ready now, at this time! Not when another loved one needed help, and most certainly not when my Aunt Judy was sick, but now! I am sure the LORD knew my emotional health was just not ready to take on a much loved Aunt who was like another Mama, sister and aunt rolled up into one, maybe because I loved her just that much. So if I had denied the call and not went to the LORD in prayer seeking an answer, I would have not shown trust and faith. 1 TIMOTHY 5:8(NIV)...If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Provision may come in a number of ways, financial, companionship, legal advice, maybe an errand(s), transportation or whatever. Simply identify your parents needs and try to meet them. It will do them good as well as you. THY will be done, Amen. Rest well.
