Drooping

Life turns on a dime. This is not news to me, by any means, but it's always a surprise when it happens.

My mother is in the hospital. We spent ten hours in the hallway of the emergency department in one hospital only to finally transfer to another hospital so she could be admitted pretty much in the middle of the night last night. She's having a rough time. Lots of folks have her in their prayers. I hope you will add her to yours.

Meanwhile, today is my birthday. How incongruous to spend it looking after my mom.

I am sure that everyone who knows you wants to help you in this difficult time in any way possible. The only thing that I can offer from my own experience is something that I am sure you already know. Namely, that the stressful times that you and your family are passing through now would be much more difficult for you without the presence of God in your lives.

Oh, this isn't fair, not on your birthday. I have added your mom to the prayer list at Saint Laika today.

Thanks, Bill. You are right. We know that all will be well, some how some way, because that's God's way. It helps.

Thanks so much MP. That means a lot. Mom is very appreciative of all the prayers and kind of amazed that I know people all over the world who would pray for her.
