“Continue earnestly in prayer,
being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.”
~Colossians 4:2~
Today, let’s pray for Andy Taylor and Eddie Muse.
- Andy is better is some ways. He got the stitches out of his arm and can now move his swollen fingers. The staples are our of his stomach with daily packing needed daily. This hasn’t drained properly, so home health will start today.
- Eddie is better in that he hasn’t had to be hospitalized for a while. Before that, he was in the hospital three times.
The next morning when he awoke, he couldn’t remember what her answer was! “Was she happy? I think so, wait, no, she looked at me funny…”
After about an hour of trying to remember to no avail, he got on the telephone and gave her a call. Embarrassed, he admitted that he didn’t remember her answer to the marriage proposal.
“Oh”, she said, “I’m so glad you called. I remembered saying ‘yes’ to someone, but I couldn’t remember who it was.”
How could a person possibly forget something so important?! Unfortunately, I know the answer to that question all too well. It’s not that I forgot that I’m married to what’s-her-name. No, my problem is that I forget to thank God for the many blessings that He has showered on me. In fact, sometimes I forget to even recognize those blessings.
The words of David speak to me:
“Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things…” (Psalm
103:1-5a)
Now, if I can just remember where I put my keys! 🙂
Have a great day!
