A Day Too Long

My eyes are weary from waiting to see you keep your promise...Psalm 119:123

...and so while I wait, I will delight in the little things in this beautiful life you have given me.  My spirit is tired and stretched, so I hold firmly onto your hand.  Sam waits patiently for his new heart, living to the best he can with part that he has.  It is I who grow weary Lord, because I see him struggle with the cold weather, his ice cold fingers red and blue, his red mottled cheeks.  I see him struggle for breath, trying to keep up with his big brother, coughing uncontrollably when exerted too much. I am challenged Lord by this path that we walk, and I cannot do it alone, my own heart cannot bear it, I must be filled with you, if I am to last one day longer.

So as I wait on you and your restoration for all of us, we enjoy delectable cakes from the bakery...
long walks in the park...
and sharing our journey whenever we can, to encourage others in their trials.

May we keep our eyes open for the beautiful that is sprinkled over our lives as we wait.
May you especially notice more than usual His abiding kindness today.

When I read the title and the verse, I thought how well I could relate. Now I'm humbled by your words about what you and your son are going through.

May God bless you both and the rest of your family during this waiting time.

Thank you Penny, God has sprinkled my day with rays of sunshine today in the form of little bright spring flowers, all potted up to brighten our garden. His grace is sufficient for me. xx

Hello Mamamia (what is your lovely name?)

Bless you for reading, and your encouragement. And you are right, we all have waiting times. Some are more complex than others but all are valuable in bringing us closer to God. I am sorry to hear that you home didn't sell, but am delighted to see your darling little girl has arrived safe and well. Congratulations. May God bless her with abundant joy and love.
