I know this blog is supposed to be used for updates on Mom, but I wanted to share something the Lord used to encourage me recently.
Lately I've been in quite a whirl-wind of emotions and at every new complication' having difficulty understanding "why?" (of course, aren't we all)! On Sunday, during communion, the pianist played a medley including "Oh Love That Will Not Let Me Go"; it being one of my favorite hymns, I looked it up. I was struck by the third verse:
"Oh joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee.
I seek the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be."
Funny how God knows just what we need, isn't it! I've sung that verse many times since, and it --along with many other scriptures/encouraging words that people have sent us-- has been a huge help during this time. Thank you so much for all the thoughtful cards and e-mails y'all have sent, they're greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Valerie
