Happy Monday!
I took Travis to the doctor today. He has a raging sinus
infection. The doc gave him an allergy shot, a bag full of nasal spray and a
prescription for a Z-Pak. Please pray that he begins feeling better really soon.
He was still pretty miserable when I took him home this afternoon.
Also, please pray that the swelling in my foot goes down
enough by Friday night so I can fit into my shoes for the wedding. I know in
the grand scheme of things this seems like a silly prayer, but I really want to
wear them to dance with Travis and Bruce on Friday night. I can put make up on
the area to cover the bruising, but I really want to wear my “dancing shoes.”
Prayer: Holy Lord of tender Presence, in just a few more
days Travis and Sarah will stand before you and pledge their love for each
other borne out of love for you and by Your love of them. Please continue to be
with them, calming them, keeping them focused on You. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
“Our
light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far
outweighs them all.”

Corinthians 4: 17
These two precious people who are about to be married are
people of faith. It is said that marriages are made in heaven, but they have to
be lived out here on earth. Travis and Sarah are going to experience times of
great joy in their lives and they will experience difficulties and
disagreements. It is my prayer that these two will remember how they feel each
other right now and give thanks for the times of joy and find ways to give
thanks when times are difficult and they disagree.
Compared to the eternity we will spend with Jesus, our current
difficulties and tough times are light and momentary, according to the
scriptures. When we practice giving
thanks we are making a habit of recognizing God’s presence especially in the
midst of tough times. We grow in God’s likeness and share not only in the joys,
but in the sufferings and in the glories as well. When we are thankful as much
as we are able then we progress from Glory to Glory.
Take joy in the journey remembering that hope does not
disappoint. Wear comfortable shoes, give thanks with a grateful heart and get
some sleep. Love you all, Bruce and Gaylene.
I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I
feel. I am only moved by what I believe and I believe God.
