Walking Shoes

This blog posting is in honor of my one reader...thank you! (You know who you are!) The past month (April, and now half of May, so I guess that's more like six weeks), I have been flying back and forth to Wisconsin from Omaha, with a week-long side trip to Edmonton thrown in.  I am so thankful to have had this time to spend with my Mom. We have had some very special moments together that I will cherish always.  The days are getting more difficult for her, however, and we can all see that her time on earth is getting shorter.  I have heard the Lord say that we are to walk this path together as a family, for however long it is, as He has much for us to learn.  I've put on my walking shoes!  I'm ready for whatever the path springs on me. That's only because I have my eyes (usually) fixed on the Light that's directing me, ("Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105), and not the thorns or the rocks or the snakes. Thank God once again, this battle's not mine! Besides...in the words of my good friend Mike, "WE WIN!"

In the process, (this is a real bargain!), I'm getting to know my new sister-in-law, and am developing a better relationship with my brother. I've made friends with the girls at their home (dogs--Missie and Hannah--they look forward to my coming, and pout when I leave!). My family, and the kitties, are learning they can survive without me (barely, I know! :), and we're all learning more about ourselves, the life we live now, and the life we'll live forever with Jesus.

Do you know my Jesus?
