We were blessed with the company tonight of Cian Penha. Very blessed. He is comical and at the same time has such a tender caring soul. I so wish his mother would let us have him, lol. I was tired most of the day and just asked The Lord for some energy. I knew my boy was coming tonight and I wanted to cook for him. We had chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. We also have a food relationship thinking up new concoctions and discussing it all. For quite a while we sat watching tv and not talking much but just his presence brought peace, joy, and smiles into our home. Silent. Yet full. That is how it feels right now. I share all of this as I feel like that is what The Lord is wanting from me. So on the days Im not in His word or feeling bad or good, I choose to be in His presence. Invite Him in and be silent for a bit. He doesnt make us do that but I got a taste of what it felt like to be content, in His presence just as I was with Cian tonight. No big production fueled by stress. Just a home cooked meal to make a memory of our visit. Content. Full. Cup overflowing. Earlier in the week Butch recieved a call saying I was not a candidate for the back surgery. I was disappointed but my oncologist is calling for my old MRI to send for comparison and a second opinion. So I am trying to be content as I wait to hear. We were blessed with a real tree this year from a donation made through the benefit. It seems very fitting to me this year to have a living tree. My biopsy came back clear of multiple myeloma cells. Praise God. Maci is safe in her apartment and making decisions I am thrilled with. Madison bought a new car, new to her, and is loving it. She liked her old car but after seeing what it looked like after the wreck I am oh so thankful she got a larger car. Mason is playing lots of basketball and we are hoping he can go to a race in January. Im feeling very blessed by things big and small and trying to focus on that. The enemy is constantly trying to get me down, but because I belong to Him, I choose joy. Contentment. Grace. No fear. Good health for my entire family. I will continue to seek the blessings right before me than give the enemy any chance to reign. I am blessed just as you are, my brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you Angie Turner Ramoneda for being ever so thoughtful and sending home supper for us so often. You are truly gifted. Love to all!
