Trying times, but knowing God is Good

As Craig and I sit and ponder about all the things that have gone (what we think is) wrong, we realize how much God is in control.

Dad was recovering what we thought was in record time, however the recovery was really a bump in the road. He had to have another surgical procedure yesterday to remove some scar tissue. It went well and the doctor told him to resume normal schedule. The amazing part of this is that the main issue of the cancer is gone. Yes we have lost sight of that at times.

My in-laws are having even a tougher time. My father-in law had moved into an assisted living facility for some rehab. While he was there my mother-in-law fell and broke her pelvis. Now they are both there. However they are in a home that believes in getting them back on their own. They also have a lot of Christian activities.

We know that God's Love is amazing and at times we need to be reminded that He Loves us even in the bad times. Here is a little poem that brings it all into perspective

Story of the Nail Heart
The nail was used to hold him fast
Unto the cross for sins so vast
For all the world's great sins that day
Were borne by him that we might say:

Christ is my Lord, my strength, my song
and unto him my life belongs
I don't deserve the love you show
But through your gift my life's aglow

By your grace, those who believe
and confess their sins will have reprieve
Never will death cause fear again
Thanks to Jesus, who took our sins


So if times don't look the best just remember He is there for you and will come again some day!
