my unbelief


t

And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible for one who believes."
Immediately, the father of the child cried out and said, 
"I believe; help my unbelief!"

~ ~ ~

No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God,
but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,
fully convinced that God was able to do
what he had promised. 

Romans 4:19-21






God has made no promises to me regarding the health of my sister.

Certainly, he has made no promises regarding the length of our lives here.

We've been told by the medical professionals that this is the best treatment.

So we move forward, heavy hearted, with faith and trepidation.


But....Jesus whispers in my ear as I lie awake in my bed,

my heart beats with his promises as I sit at my desk

in the dark before sunrise...

His love for her is deeper and stronger than ours could ever be.

He will care for her.

This is my prayer:

To heal her and set her back amongst us...living and laughing

or...if that is not your will,

to hold her warm against your all loving heart,

and soften all her footfalls so that nothing should bump against her,

or cause her to cry out,

make her journey an easy one dear Lord,

be by her side as she goes through the radiation and chemo.

I believe; help my unbelief.

    I hope for the best possible outcome for your sister, and, for you, the strength and faith to walk through this with her. I am so sorry you are both going through this.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
