What a full day yesterday was...beginning with a trip to the voting place to cast our ballots in the local elections, then a workout at the gym, errands and time on the computer setting up bill payments for the next two weeks and taking care of a couple of fix-it jobs around the house. Then a run to the airport to pick up one of our sons who was coming in. Another one had come earlier in the day and helped me with a yard project.
I might have begun to think I was preparing to go on a vacation, except for one thing. All day, interspersed within and around these activities, were continuous reminders that this was no ordinary "trip". The phone rang incessantly with calls from friends and family letting me know they were thinking about and praying for me, even whole groups of people were praying. In the afternoon a friend of Sherril's showed up with a lasagna dinner. Later, two couples from our Life Group arrived to pray with me. A little later a friend dropped by with a special gift and a hug.
Besides all these, I'm sure that many of you reading this have been part of a continuous concert of prayer on my behalf. For certain, my sense of peace and desire to make this an opportunity to reach out to others is a direct answer to those petitions. That's not my nature. I'm convinced that as God heard those prayer, so He also has heard your requests for recovery and healing. My prayer is that you, also, may experience the same peace and sense of His presence in your life.
Yes, "this is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!" (Psalm 118:4)
