Prayers Answered, Healing Came

" There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,.."

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 (TNIV)

As we stood watch during the final hours of the earthly life of my sister-in-law, Julia, visitors began to share how committed Julia was to fulfilling her responsibilities as a Christian and as a church member. She had taken seriously her role as a mother even in the face of opposition when others didn’t understand her reasoning.

With time growing short she was completing tasks that many would have left undone. She wanted her final tithe to be delivered along with her offering to GPS to help feed the hungry. She demonstrated love for her family by meticulously making decisions in advance. The comment most often voiced was that Julia was never heard complaining throughout her long illness and always had a smile on her face. We all agreed that was an example we hoped we could follow.

What are you portraying as your journey proceeds?

Is the vision of all those around you following your example a beautiful Masterpiece?

Or, is it an unsightly drawing that should be discarded?

What will people say about you when you reach the end of your journey?

"Show me, LORD, my life's end

and the number of my days;

let me know how fleeting my life is."

Psalm 39:4 (TNIV)

Hiatus Interruptus!

Some things are worth an interruption in your hiatus. If you stop by this blog please take a moment to pray for Julia. God will know which Julia you are referring to. She is my sister -in -law and she is living with stage IV melanoma. The battle is raging and God is ready to hear an army of prayers for her healing.

"The prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well;

the Lord will raise him up.

If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

James 5:15-16
