Seth at Disneyland last week
Reflecting back at this time last year, we were well on our way to recovering from Seth's surgery {along with him}, but in no way had arrived to a place of comfort or understanding. I was smiling just moment ago wondering why I was so looking forward to this summer that's around the bend for my boys- for our family... It occurred to me that everyone is healthy. Seth's 2nd surgery has come to a close and is now behind us with nothing but possibility on the horizon. I am encouraged today as I watch my little ones nap and the serenity that fills our home- the smell of fresh baking cookies that I made with Max and the sense that all is well.
It reminds me of God's call to Be still and know that I am God {psalm 46:10}. Regardless of circumstance or situation, the sovereignty of God is always and has always been in tact and consistent. His Grace preserved us, His mercy was with us. We are not exempt from trial or hardship- that is not the promise. He is faithful to be with us- when we call on Him. I'm sure I could not have made it through this past year and a half without the Comforter, that is, the Lord.
May you be blessed today as you relax and rest with your families. Enjoy one another and speak words of love, encouragement and all that is good.
Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
Agape,
Sam
