Greetings
from Austin Street
Happy, happy
Tuesday! Bruce is coming home
tomorrow. I wish you could have seen the
look on his face when I told him tonight at my visit. He was so excited. He did
a double thumbs up! He packed in record time leaving enough clothes for tomorrow. I have a meeting with his case manager to
fill out the paperwork for Disability.(Please pray about that!) I am sure she
will language this application to help Bruce get approved for disability. So I
will meet him at the clinic around 4:00 and return to the apartment to get the
last of his things, pack up the groceries and we will come home. I even have
the homecoming meal planned; Breakfast enchiladas, hash browns and sliced
avocados. I can’t wait! Our bedroom is
complete and looks so lovely. It has lots of space and it is bright and
cheerful. I have never had such a pretty bedroom. I am asking for your continued prayers as we begin this new stage in the
journey.
“But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.”
Psalm 13:5
Have you
ever noticed how God refers to us, His children? God calls us beloved. God proclaims publically how dear we are
to Him and how much we are loved. The love God has for us has no parallel. Sometimes when I get down in the dumps about
this situation I remind myself that neither God nor Satan caused this stroke in
Bruce. This happened because Bruce’s cumidin fell too low and caused a blood
clot. But God and Satan have the same awareness of our vulnerability, our depth
of sorrow, doubt, uncertainty and our fear. Satan works on the fearing side of
our thoughts and can
drag us into doubt and uncertainty. Satan has no power where the Presence of
God dwells. God, the author of unfailing
love abides in each of us because God’s living Presence remains in each of His
beloved children. This permanent, unfailing love empowers us to
trust in God no matter what. God is good and love wins!!
Take joy in
the journey remembering that hope does not disappoint. Wear comfortable shoes,
give thanks with a grateful heart, let us cast our cares upon the LORD and get
some sleep. God is up all night anyway so there is no reason for all of us to
be awake. Love you all, Bruce and Gaylene
